1. ومسامري فى الليل ناحل

    متصعد الزفرات ملتهب الحشا

    And my companion in the night is gaunt,

    His sighs rising, his innermost being aflame.

  2. أضحى كما حكم الهوى ولهيبه

    ذا أضلع ما فوقها الا الغشا

    He has become, as passion and its blaze decreed,

    A frame of ribs with nothing over them but a covering.
