قَلبٌ تَقَطَّع فَاِستَحالَ نَجيعا

فَجَرى فَصارَ مَعَ الدُموعِ دُموعا

A heart torn asunder and turned to pieces

It flowed and with tears became teardrops

رُدَّت إِلى أَحشائِهِ زَفَراتُهُ

فَفَضَضنَ مِنهُ جَوانِحاً وَضُلوعا

Its sighs returned to its depths

So ribs and limbs burst out from within

عَجَبا لِنارٍ ضُرِّمَت في صَدرِهِ

فَاِستَنبَطَت مِن جَفنِهِ ينبوعا

Wondrous is the fire kindled in his chest

That drew fountains from his eyelids

لَهَبٌ يَكونُ إِذا تَلَبَّسَ بِالحَشا

قَيظاً وَيَظهَرُ في الجُفونِ رَبيعا

A flame that dons rage when clad in sorrow

And reveals spring in the eyes, scorching heat
