1. وَلَقَد مَرَرتُ بِدارِ مَن أَحبَبتُهُ

    لَيسَ الَّتي لِلحُبِّ بَينَ ضُلوعي

    And indeed I passed by the dwelling of the one I loved—

    Not love’s dwelling between my ribs.

  2. فَذَكَرتُ سَبحي في بِحارِ نَداهُمُ

    فَوَقَفتُ أَسَبحُ في بِحارِ دُموعي

    Then I recalled my swimming in the seas of their bounty,

    So I stopped, swimming in the seas of my tears.
