1. الوَجْدُ كَوَى حُشَاشَتِي بِالنَّارِ

    وَالدَّمعُ جرَى بِأفْقِ خَدّي بَارِي

    Longing seared my soul with fire.

    And tears flowed across my cheek’s horizon, wearing me away.

  2. وَالسُّقْمُ كما ترَى لجِسْمي بَارِي

    ما أصْنعُ قد قَضَى بِهذَا البَارِي

    And sickness, as you see, is wasting my body.

    What can I do? The Creator has decreed this.
