1. فَضلَةٍ ذَكَّرَتني ريقَ تارِكِها

    في الكَأسِ مَمزوجَةٍ مِنهُ بِطيبِ فَمِ

    A leftover draught reminded me of the saliva of the one who left it,

    in the cup, mingled with sweetness from his mouth.

  2. أَرادَ لَمّا رَأى سُقمي فَرَقَّ لَهُ

    بُرإي فَقَد زادَني سُقماً عَلى سَقَمِ

    He sought, when he saw my sickness and took pity on it,

    my recovery, yet he added sickness to my sickness.
