1. وَفَدُوا يَسأَلُونَنِي كَيْفَ حَالِي

    لَوْ دَرَوْا مَا جَوابُ هَذَا السؤَالِ

    They came to ask me how I fare.

    If only they knew the answer to this question!

  2. مَا حَيَاتِي بَعْدَ الَّتِي هِيَ مِنْهَا

    مَا كِفَاحِي فِيها وَمَا آمالي

    What is my life after her from whom it came?

    What is my struggle in it, and what are my hopes?
