1. بَرزت كما شَاء الهوَى لِذَوي الهوَى

    وما شَاءَ قَول الشِّعرِ مِمَّن بكَ انكَوَى

    You appeared as passion wished for those in love,

    And as the verse of one scorched by you wished.

  2. سَألتكُمُ باللهِ هل عِندكُم دَوَا

    لِمَن قد هَوَى مَن جَلَّ قَدرا عن الهَوَى

    I asked you, by God: do you have a remedy

    For one who has loved someone too exalted in rank for passion?

  3. إذا ألهمَ اللهُ الشبَابَ تعلُّما

    وألَّفَ ما بينَ القلُوب فَذَا الدَّوَا

    If God inspires the young to learn,

    And brings hearts together, then this is the remedy.
