1. رَأى فَحَبَّ فَرامَ الوَصلَ فَاِمتَنِعوا

    فَهامَ عِشقاً فاضَني جِسمُهُ فَنِضا

    He saw, then loved, then sought union, but they refused.

    Then he was consumed by passion; his body was worn down, and he wasted away.

  2. وَحاوِلِ القُربَ فَاِستَعصَت مَطالِبُهُ

    فَسامَ صَبراً فاعي نَيلَهُ فَقَضا

    And he tried to draw near, but his wishes proved unattainable.

    Then he sought patience, but could not attain it, and so he died.
