Claude 2

  1. يُرجّي اِصطِباري وأَيُّ اِصطِبارٍ

    يَكونُ لِقَلبٍ عَميدٍ جَرِيِّ

    He hopes for my patience, but what patience

    Can there be for a staunch heart that flows?

  2. يَقولُ إِذا ما الهَوى شَفَّهُ

    لَقَد خُصَّ قَلبي بِداءٍ دَوِيِّ

    It says, when passion has loosened its reins,

    "My heart was singled out for a far-reaching illness."

  3. يَبيتُ عَلى مِثلِ جَمرِ الغَضا

    وَإِن باتَ فَوقَ مِهادٍ وَطِيِّ

    It spends the night like embers of unhealed wounds

    And if it sleeps on a soft bed,

  4. يَنامُ الخَلِيُّ وَما لِلشَجِيِّ

    رُقادٌ إِذا طالَ نَومُ الخَلِيِّ

    The friend sleeps, but the lovelorn

    Has no rest, even when the friend slumbers.
