1. نَم خلياً فإنَّني مُستهامُ

    ليسَ للهائمِ الفؤادِ مَنامُ

    Sleep carefree, for I am crazed with love.

    There is no sleep for one whose heart is lost in love.

  2. لكَ صبرٌ تسلُو بهِ ولقلبي

    حُرَقٌ مستديمةٌ وغرامُ

    You have patience through which to find solace, while my heart has

    unceasing burning pangs and consuming love.

  3. بعضَ ما يُورثُ الضناءَ وحبي

    كَ لطَالَ الضَّنى وأبلَى السَّقامُ

    A little less of what brings wasting! By my love

    for you, wasting has indeed lasted long, and sickness has worn me down.

  4. إن تلُمها عيناً بكتكَ فَصِلها

    ما عليها وأنتَ تَجفُو مَلامُ

    If you blame an eye that wept for you, then draw near to it.

    No blame rests on it while you turn away.
