1. Be gentle with a body that passion has wasted away,
And a heart that is burdened with love for you and deserted by patience.
١. ترفّقْ بجسم قد أضرّ به الهوى
وقلبٍ معنّى فيكَ فارقَه الصبرُ
2. Love has left of me nothing but some small remains,
Which separation will soon take away.
٢. فلم يُبقِ مِنّي الحبُّ غيرَ بقيةٍ
وعمّا قَريبٍ سَوفَ يُذْهِبُها الهجْرُ
