1. لا تعذلاني إن بَكيت البَدن

    إن أنتما لم تَعذراني فَمن

    Do not reproach me, you two, if I weep for the body.

    If you two do not excuse me, then who will?

  2. وأندبا كيفَ براهُ الهوى

    وأينَ مما تظهرانِ بَطن

    And lament, you two, how love has wasted it.

    And how does what lies within compare with what you two reveal?

  3. كلي عليلٌ مذ رنا لحظةً

    أسبابُها موصولةٌ بالفِتَن

    All of me is ailing since he cast a glance,

    Whose ties are bound up with temptations,

  4. من طرفِ من صيرهُ حسنهُ

    يحارُ منهُ كل شيءٍ حسَن

    From the eye of one whose beauty has made him such

    That every beautiful thing is bewildered by him.
