1. ذَهَبتَ وَلَم تُلمِم بِديباجَةِ الحَرَم

    وَقَد كُنتَ مِنها في عَناءٍ وَفي سَقَم

    You departed without drawing near the sanctuary’s brocade,

    though you had been in anguish and sickness because of her.

  2. جُنِنتَ بِها لَما سَمِعتَ بِذِكرِها

    وَقَد كُنتَ مَجنوناً بِجاراتِها القُدُم

    You went mad for her when you heard her mentioned,

    though you had already been mad for her neighbors of old.
