1. منعوهُ أَحبَّ شيءٍ لديه

    من جميعِ الورى ومن والديه

    They forbade him the thing he loved most

    From all creation and from his parents

  2. منعوهُ غذءَه وهو قد كا

    نَ مباحاً له وبين يديه

    They forbade his food though it was

    Permissible to him, laid out before him

  3. عجباً منه ذا على صغرِ السن

    هويْ فاهتدى الفراقُ إليه

    Strange that one so young

    Should be guided, separation led him to it
