1. أَيا مَن ضاعَ فيهِ نَفيسُ عُمري

    وَصَبري بَينَ إِعراضٍ وَبَينِ

    O you on whom my precious life was wasted,

    And my patience, between rejection and parting.

  2. أَراكَ مُمَثّلاً بِسَوادِ قَلبي

    فَمَن لِيَ أَن يَراكَ سَوادُ عَيني

    I see you pictured in the blackness of my heart;

    Who, then, will grant me that my eye’s dark pupil may see you?
