1. عَراني زكامٌ فابتَلاني مُكْرها

    بهجرِ بديعٍ في ملاحتِهِ فردِ

    A cold beset me and, against my will, afflicted me

    with separation from a wondrous one, peerless in his beauty.

  2. وذاك لشمِّي وردَ خدَّيْهِ دائماً

    وقد يَعْتري داءُ الزكامِ من الوردِ

    And that was because I always smelled the roses of his cheeks;

    and a cold may indeed arise from roses.
