1. أفدى مهاةً كم قطعتُ بوصلها

    عيشاً جرى من بعده دمعي دما

    I would give my life for an oryx—how much I spent in union with her

    of life, after which my tears flowed as blood.

  2. صدت ومالت للجفا بعد الوفا

    وأظنها نسيت عهوداً بالحمى

    She turned away and inclined to estrangement after faithfulness.

    And I think she has forgotten vows in the protected grounds.
