1. وشَادِنٍ مَرِضَتْ أَجفانُهُ فَغَدَا

    قَلْبي لها عَائِداً فانصَاعَ معلُولا

    And a young gazelle's eyelids fell ill, so off went

    my heart to visit them, only to return ailing.

  2. فَمَاتَ قَلْبِي وما ماتَتْ لَوَاحِظُهُ

    ليقضِيَ اللَّهُ أَمْراً كَانَ مَفْعُولا

    So my heart died, yet his glances did not die,

    that God might fulfill a decree destined to be fulfilled.
