1. يا آسِيَ الحَيِّ هل فَتَّشتَ في كَبدي

    وهل تَبَيَّنتَ داءً في زَواياها

    O healer of the tribe, have you searched within my liver?

    And have you discerned an ailment in its recesses?

  2. أوّاهُ من حُرَقٍ أودَت بِأكثَرِها

    ولم تَزَل تَتَمَشّى في بَقاياها

    Alas for burning pangs that have destroyed most of it

    and still creep through its remnants!

  3. يا شَوقُ رِفقا بِأَضلاعٍ عَصَفتَ بها

    فَالقَلبُ يَخفِقُ ذُعراً في حَناياها

    O longing, be gentle with ribs you have ravaged,

    for the heart beats in terror within their curves.
