1. روحي الفدا لعائد حلو اللمى

    ما زارني إلا ليصف دائي

    My soul be a ransom for a visitor with sweet, dusky lips.

    He visited me only to diagnose my ailment.

  2. أهدى إلي مع العيادة ريقه

    فأعاد باللطف الخفي شفائي

    As he visited me in sickness, he offered me his saliva;

    So through hidden gentleness he restored my health.

  3. عجباً مرضت له وفيه نجوت من

    مرضى فاضحى علتي ودوائي

    How wondrous! I fell ill for him, and in him escaped from

    my illness; thus he became my ailment and my cure.
