1. شكوتُ يومَ الفِراق جُهْدِي

    لما قضى الدهرُ بالفِراق

    I complained of my suffering on the day of parting,

    When fate decreed separation.

  2. تَعَلَّقَتْ فيه بي وقالتْ

    لولا النَّوَى لم يكن عناقي

    She clung to me that day and said,

    "Were it not for parting, there would be no embrace from me."
