1. بِتُّم هُجوداً في الغِنى وَلَو اِنتَهَت

    هَذي النُفوسُ لَبِتُّمُ أَيقاظا

    You spent the night asleep amid wealth; but had they taken heed—

    These souls—you would have spent the night awake.

  2. صافَت سِهامُكُمُ وَقَرطَسَ غَيُّكُم

    فَشَتا بِأَربُعَةِ الصُدورِ وَقاظا

    Your arrows missed, but your waywardness hit the mark;

    So it wintered in the springs of your breasts, and summered.
