1. تطاول ليلي من هموم فبعضُها

    قديم ومنها حادث مترشح

    My night has grown long with cares; some of them

    Are old, and among them is a new one welling up.

  2. تحنُّ إلى عِرق الحُجون وأهلُها

    منازلهم منا سلَيل وأبطح

    They yearn for the ridge of al-Ḥajūn, while its people—

    Their dwellings, away from us, are Sulayl and Abṭaḥ.
