1. ما نَمَّ عَلى الصبح نَسيمُ الآسِ

    إِلّا لِهَواهُ حَنَّ قَلبي الآسي

    Never did the myrtle breeze betray the dawn

    without my sorrowing heart yearning for its love.

  2. بالريحِ وَطَرفِها وَقَلبي مَرَضٌ

    يا طائِفَةَ المِراضِ هَل مِن آسِ

    There is sickness in the wind, her gaze, and my heart.

    O company of the sick, is there a healer?
