1. أَنَا مَشْغُوفٌ بِجَارِ

    قُرِنَتْ دَارِي بِدَارِهْ

    I am infatuated with a neighbor;

    my house was joined to his.

  2. تَائِهٌ جَارَ عَلَى الْجَا

    رِ فَمَا يَرْثي لِجَارِهْ

    Haughty, he has wronged the neigh-

    bor, and feels no pity for his neighbor,

  3. عَالِمٌ أَنَّ هَوَاهُ

    قَدْ كَوَى قَلْبِي بِنَارِهْ

    knowing that love for him

    has indeed seared my heart with its fire.

  4. قَلَّ مَا يَنْفَعُ قُرْبُ الدَّ

    ارِ مَع بُعْدِ مَزَارِهِ

    Little does it help to live near his dwell-

    ing, when he is so hard to visit.
