1. أما الذي لو شاء قاسمنا الهوى

    كفافا فما أشقى محبا ولا عنى

    Indeed, by the one who, had he wished, would have shared love with us

    equally, without making a lover wretched or tormenting him:

  2. لقد سرنا جود الزمان بقربكم

    وقد ساءنا في القرب إعراضكم عنا

    Time's generous gift of your nearness has indeed delighted us,

    yet your turning away from us amid that nearness has grieved us.
