1. قاتِل بِغَيرِ سِلاحِ الهَجرِ إِنَّ لَهُ

    ضَرباً تَسيلُ دُموعي مِنهُ وَهيَ دَمُ

    Fight without the weapon of estrangement, for it deals

    a blow that makes my tears flow, and they are blood.

  2. كَتَمتُ ما بِيَ في وَجهي دَلائِلُهُ

    وَالهَمُّ نارٌ فَقُل لي كَيفَ يَنكَتِمُ

    I concealed what ails me; its signs are on my face.

    And sorrow is fire—so tell me, how can it be concealed?
