1. تَعَلَّقَت بِفُؤادي نارُ كُلِّ هَوىً

    فَما سَوادُ فُؤادي غَيرُ حُرّاقِ

    The fire of every passion has clung to my heart.

    So my heart’s dark core is nothing but tinder.

  2. وَقامَ ساقٍ عَلى ساقٍ يُقيمُ بِها

    حَربي فَقامَت لِيَ الدُينا عَلى ساقِ

    And a cupbearer stood on one leg, with which he wages

    war against me; so the world rose against me on one leg.
