1. أعانَ جسمي عَلى طَرفي وأَحشائي

    بنَظرةٍ وقَعَت جسمِي على دائِي

    My body lent aid against my eye and my heart,

    With a glance that fell upon my body, upon my ailment.

  2. وكنتُ غراً بما يَجني عَلى بَدني

    لا عِلم لي أنَّ بَعضي بعضُ أدوائِي

    And I was unaware of the harm it does to my body,

    Not knowing that part of me is part of my afflictions.
