1. رمضانُ أرمَضَني فأمرَضَني بصا

    داتٍ على عددِ الطباعِ الأربعَهْ

    Ramadan scorched me, then made me ill with ṣād-

    words, as many as the four humors:

  2. صومٌ وصفراءٌ تجرِّعُني الردى

    وصبابةٌ وصدودُ من قلبي مَعَهْ

    Fasting, and yellow bile that makes me swallow death,

    And ardent longing, and rejection by the one my heart is with.
