1. بِت مِن فكريَ في حال السَقيم

    وَهُمومي لا سِواها مِن نَديمي

    I spent the night, from brooding, in a sick man's state;

    And none but my worries were my boon companions.

  2. لَم يَفد سُهدي دَواء وَصفهُ

    يَجلب النَوم إِلى جفن النُجوم

    No remedy eased my sleeplessness, though its description

    Brings sleep to the eyelids of the stars.
