يَا صَدِيقاً شَعَرْتُ إِذْ بَانَ عَنِّي

أَنَّهُ حِيلَ بَيْنَ رُوحِي وَبَيْنِي

O friend, I felt when it became clear

That my soul was separated from me

فَغَدَوْنَا طَيْفَيْنِ تَرْمُقُ رَسْمِي

مِنْهُ عَيْنٌ وَرَسْمُهُ نُصْبَ عَيْنِي

So we have become two specters that gaze upon my form

One is an eye, and its image is before my eyes
