1. لَم أَحظَ غداةَ وَصلِها بالأملِ

    لِم يُرجِفُ كاشِحي بِما لَم أَنَلِ

    I did not attain my hope on the morning of union with her.

    Why does my spiteful foe spread rumors of what I never attained?

  2. لا امتَدَّ إِلى نَتائِج الوَصلِ يَدي

    إِن زدتُ عَلى مقدِّمات القُبَلِ

    May my hand never reach the fruits of union,

    if I went beyond the preliminaries of kisses.
