1. نأيت عني فلبست الضنى

    واصفرَّ حتى وجه صهبائي

    You went far from me, so I donned wasting sickness;

    And even the face of my tawny wine grew pale.

  2. وباتت الأوتار في مجلسي

    خافقةً منك على النائي

    And the strings in my gathering spent the night

    Quivering because of you for the one far away.
