1. وَشادِنٍ قالَ لي لَمّا رَأى سَقَمي

    وَضَعَفَ جِسمِيَ وَالدَمعُ الَّذي اِنسَجَما

    And a young gazelle said to me when he saw my sickness,

    and my body's frailty, and the tears that streamed:

  2. أَخَذتَ دَمعَكَ مِن خَدّي وَجِسمَكَ مِن

    خَصري وَسُقمَكَ مِن طَرفي الَّذي سَقُما

    “You took your tears from my cheek, and your body from

    my waist, and your sickness from my languid gaze.”
