1. وأحور ساجي الطرف أغرى بي الضنى

    وقصر نومي في ليال أطالها

    And a dark-eyed one, languid of gaze, set wasting illness upon me,

    And shortened my sleep through nights he made long.

  2. دنا فسألناه أما لك من فم

    فقال نعمْ قلنا فأينَ فقال ها

    He drew near, and we asked him, “Have you no mouth?”

    He said, “Yes.” We said, “Where, then?” He said, “Here.”
