1. ولمّا التَقَينا قَرَّبَ الشَوقُ جُهدهُ

    شَجِيَّينِ فاضا لَوعَة وَعِتابا

    And when we met, longing drew together with all its might

    Two sorrowing lovers, overflowing with anguish and reproach.

  2. كَأنَّ حَبيباً في خِلالِ حَبيبهِ

    تَسَرَّبَ أثناءَ العِناقِ وَغابا

    As though a lover, into the recesses of his beloved,

    Had seeped during the embrace and vanished.
