1. أهواه كالبدر بلانا يزحزح عن

    جسمي وقلبي أقذاء وأحزانا

    I love him, like the full moon; he has tried us, removing from

    my body and my heart motes and sorrows.

  2. قد رق لي ورثا مما أكابده

    وما قسى قلبه أفديه بلانا بل لانا

    Indeed, he grew tender toward me and pitied me for what I endure.

    And his heart did not harden—I would ransom him—he tried us; rather, it grew tender.
