1. إِذا اِصفَرَّ الفَتى لِفُراقِ روحٍ

    فَأَهوِن بِالتَصَعلُكِ وَالشُحوبِ

    If a young man pales at parting from his soul,

    then how trifling are destitution and pallor!

  2. أَحوبِيَ صاحِبي فَأُعيرَ فَضلاً

    عَلَيَّ أَم اِنتُقِصتُ لِأَجلِ حَوبي

    Is my soul my companion, that I should grant it superiority

    over me, or have I been diminished because of my sin?
