1. غَرُبَت خَلائِقُكَ الحِسانُ غَريبَةً

    وَرَمى الزَّمانُ دُنُوَّها بِبُعادِ

    Your beautiful qualities grew distant, estranged;

    And time cast their nearness into separation.

  2. ذَهَبَت كَما ذَهَبَ الرَّبيعُ وَخَلَّفَت

    قَيظَ المَقيلِ حَرارَةُ الأَكبادِ

    They departed as spring departed; and outstripped was

    The summer heat of the midday rest by the burning of livers.
