1. وَأَعجَلَنا وَشكُ الفِراقِ وَبَينَنا

    حَديثٌ كَتَنفيسِ المَريضَينِ مُزعِجُ

    And the imminence of parting hurried us, while between us

    was troubling talk, like the sighing of two sick people—

  2. حَديثٌ لَوَ اَنَّ اللَحمَ يَصلى بِحَرِّهِ

    غَريضاً أَتى أَصحابَهُ وَهوَ مُنضَجُ

    talk—were meat set to roast in its heat,

    fresh and raw, it would reach its owners fully cooked.
