1. يا باكياً من أسفه

    مكتنفاً من دنفِه

    O one weeping from his sorrow,

    beset by his wasting sickness,

  2. كالبدرِ كالغصنِ وفي

    دِعص نقاً من ترفِه

    like the full moon, like a bough, and in

    a mound of sand, from his luxurious softness.

  3. ما يرفعُ الطرفَ إلى

    عاشقهِ من صلفِه

    He does not lift his gaze toward

    his lover, out of his arrogance.

  4. ما كان لو عاشَ أخو ال

    هوى به من كنفِه

    What would it matter if a man of

    love lived through him, under his protection?
