1. وَيحَ نَفسي عَهدي بِها في التَراقي

    قَبلَ يَومِ الفِراقِ عِندَ الفِراقِ

    Alas for my soul! I last knew it at the collarbones,

    Before the day of separation, at the moment of parting.

  2. أطلُبوها في حَيثُ كُنّا اِعتَنَقنا

    هَلَكت في اِشتِغالِنا بِالعِناقِ

    Seek it where we had embraced;

    It perished while we were absorbed in embracing.
