1. مضت الشبيبة والحبيبة فانبرى

    دمعان في الأجفان يزدحمانِ

    Youth and the beloved have gone; then forth sprang

    two tears, jostling together upon my eyelids.

  2. ما أنصفتني الحادثاتُ رمينني

    بمودَّ عين وليس لي قلبانِ

    The blows of fate dealt unjustly with me: they struck me

    through Muhammad, the apple of my eye—yet I have not two hearts.
