أَيَا كَبِدَينَا أَجمِلا قَد وَجَدتُما

بِأهلِ الحِمَى مَا لَم تَجِد كَبِدَانِ

Oh liver of mine, loveliest you have found

Among fever's family what other livers never gained

إِذا كَبِدانا خافَتا صَرفَ نِيَّةٍ

وعاجِلَ بَينٍ ظَلَّتا تَجِبانِ

When you, two livers, fearful turn intention back

And for immediate comfort crouch in shade

يُخَبِّرُ طَرفانا بِما فِى قُلُوبِنا

إِذا استَعجَمَت بِالمَنطِقِ الشَّفَتانِ

Our eyes inform what's in our hearts contained

When lips with speech too swift do not contain
