1. يا ملبسي ثوب الهوان بهجره

    لولا جمالك ما تجلبت الهوى

    O one who clothes me in humiliation’s robe through his desertion,

    But for your beauty, I would not have taken love upon myself.

  2. أشكو إليك جوانحاً تطوي على

    نار الصبابة آهً من نار الجوى

    I complain to you of ribs that fold around

    The fire of yearning—ah, the fire of heartache!
