1. آهِ منْ حر الفِراق وَيَا حَسْ

    رةَ منْ خابَ بعدَ مَا قدْ تَمَنى

    Ah, the burning heat of parting! And oh, the re—

    —gret of one disappointed after having hoped!

  2. لَيْتَ شعري أكان هجري لِمَعْنىً

    عِنْد أهْل العَقيق أم لا لمعنى

    Would that I knew: was I forsaken for a reason

    by the people of al-ʿAqīq, or for no reason?
