1. يا غُصن بِالقَدّ

    كبد العاشِقين قَد قَد

    O bough in stature!

    The lovers’ livers have been cleft.

  2. وَالحُسن في الخَدّ

    أَحشاء الشّجي قَد خَد

    And beauty upon the cheek

    Has gashed the sorrowful lover’s entrails.

  3. وَالخال كَالندّ

    كَم هايِم بِهِ قَد نَد

    And the beauty mark is like fragrant incense—

    How many, enamored of it, have wandered!

  4. وَالهَجر كَالصدّ

    لِلوَلهان عَنّك صد

    And separation, like rejection,

    Is a barrier keeping the lovelorn from you.
