1. قَالوا عَلِمتَ بِحُمّى الحِبِّ قلتُ لَهم

    نَعَم وَقَد صِرتُ مِن حُمّاهُ مَغموما

    They said, “Have you learned of the beloved’s fever?” I said to them,

    “Yes, and I have become sorrowful from his fever.

  2. تَنفّسي مِن لَظى قَلبي وَقَد بعُدَت

    مِنّا الدّيارُ بِهِ قَد صارَ مَحموما

    My breath, from my heart’s blaze—while far away

    from us the dwellings have grown—has become fevered by it.”
