1. مَنْ أَعْلَقَتْهُ لِلجُفُونِ حَبَائِلٌ

    مُتَيَّقِنِ أَنْ لَيسَ مِنها مَخْلَصُ

    Whoever has been caught by the eyelids’ snares

    Is certain there is no escape from them.

  2. يَا مَعْشَرَ العُذَّالِ لَسْتُ بِصابِرٍ

    عَنْهُمْ ولا سَالٍ لَهُمْ فَتَربَّصُوا

    O company of reproachers, I cannot bear being apart

    From them, nor can I forget them; so wait.
