1. يدمدم الحب على قلبه

    كأنه في نفسه ينهدم

    Love rumbles against his heart,

    as though it were collapsing within itself,

  2. برجفة حاملها لم يزل

    ممزقاً في القلب لا يلتئم

    with a shudder whose bearer remains

    torn within the heart, never healing.

  3. زلازل البركان لما دعت

    أن سئمت بركانها المحتدم

    When the volcano's quakes cried out

    that they were weary of their raging volcano,

  4. أجابها اللَه الطفي وارجفي

    من شفتي محبوبة تبتسم

    God answered them: “Be gentle, and tremble

    from the lips of a smiling beloved.”
