1. إِرحَم بُكاءَ الراووقِ في الظُلمِ

    بِأَدمُعٍ مِثلِ واكِفِ الدّيَمِ

    Have mercy on the wine strainer’s weeping in the darkness,

    With tears like the downpour of steady rains,

  2. شَوقاً إِلى وَجهِكَ الكَريمِ وَما

    حَوَيتَهُ مِن مَحاسِنِ الشِّيَمِ

    Yearning for your noble face and for

    The fine qualities of character you possess.
