1. سَمِعتُكَ وَالقَلبُ لَم يَسمَعِ

    فَكَم ذا تَقولُ وَكَم لا أَعي

    I heard you, but my heart did not hear.

    So much you say, and so much I fail to grasp!

  2. يَقولُ وَما عِندَهُ أَنَّني

    بِغَيرِ فُؤادٍ وَلا أَضلُعِ

    He says, unaware that I

    Have neither heart nor ribs:

  3. أَما مَعَ هَذا الفَتى قَلبُهُ

    فَقُلتُ نَعَم يا فَتى ما مَعي

    “Does this young man not have his heart with him?”

    So I said, “Yes, young man—it is not with me.”
