وَلَقَد ذَكَرتُكَ حينَ جُدت بِمُهجَتي

وَقَدِ اِحتَضَرت لَدى دُنوِّ وَفاتي

I remembered you when I was gripped with anguish,

And as the hour of death came upon me.

فَوَددت من فيكَ المُعطَّرِ نُقطَةً

في فِيَّ عِلماً أَن تَردّ حَياتي

I longed for a sweet drop from your lips,

To revive me, and breathe life into me again.
