لَم أَخشَ وأنتَ ساكِنٌ أَحشائي

إِن أَصبَحَ عَنِّي كُلُّ خِلٍّ نَائي

I did not fear while you dwelt within me

Though every friend had forsaken and left me be

فالنَّاسُ إِثنانِ وَاحِدٌ أعشَقُهُ

وَالآخَرُ لَم أَحسَبهُ في الأَحياءِ

For people are but two: one whom I love

And one who to me is as good as dead
