1. كَتَبتُ إِلَيكُمُ أَشكو سَقاماً

    بَرى جِسمى مِنَ الشَوقِ الشَديدِ

    I wrote to you complaining of illness,

    My body is visibly wasted with intense longing,

  2. وَفي البَلَدِ القَريبِ عَدِمتُ صَبري

    فَكيفَ أَكونُ في البَلَدِ البَعيدِ

    And in a near land I lost my patience,

    So how could I be in a far-off land?

  3. نَوَىً بَعدَ الصَدودِ وَأَيُّ شَيءٍ

    أَشَدُّ مِنَ النَوى بَعدَ الصُدودِ

    What is the intention after rejection? What is

    More intense than intention after rejection?
