صَدَّ بَعدَ الوِصالِ تيهاً وَعُجباً

فَأَذابَ الفُؤادَ هَمّاً وَكَربا

After union's delight, lost and confused was I,

Melancholy and sorrow then melted my heart.

رَشَأٌ جِسمُهُ أَرَقُّ مِنَ الما

ءِ وَأَقسى مِنَ الحَوادِثِ قَلبا

His body so gentle, softer than water felt,

Yet harsher than misfortunes was his heart.
