1. أَمُنْصَدِعٌ قلبي مِنَ البَيْنِ كُلَّما

    تَرَنَّمَ هدّالُ الحَمامِ الهواتفِ

    Is my heart rent by separation whenever

    the cooing one among the calling doves sings?

  2. سَجَعْنَ بِلَحْنٍ يَصْدَعُ القلبَ شَجْوُهُ

    على غير عِلْمٍ بافتراقِ الألايفِ

    They cooed a melody whose sorrow rends the heart,

    unaware of the parting of close companions.

  3. ولو نِلْتُ منها ما يُوازَن بالقَذى

    شفى كلَّ داءٍ في فؤاديَ حالفِ

    And if I obtained from her so much as a mote's weight,

    it would cure every ailment abiding in my heart.
