1. من بَعد فَقدك قل لي كيف أًصطبرُ

    والحزنُ عنديَ لا يُبقي ولا يَذَرُ

    After losing you, tell me: how can I endure?

    And grief within me spares nothing and leaves nothing.

  2. يا من أقام بجنَّات النعيم وفي

    قلبي عليه لهيبُ النار يَستَعرُ

    O you who have settled in gardens of bliss, while in

    my heart the flame of fire blazes for you.

  3. كم قد تأسَّفتُ ولكن لم يُفِد أسفي

    كما حَذِرتُ وما أغنائي الحَذَرُ

    How deeply I have grieved, yet my grief did no good,

    Just as I had been wary, yet caution did me no good.

  4. بكيتُ إذ قيل لي في عَينهِ أَثَرٌ

    فكيف حالي ولا عَينٌ ولا أثَرُ

    I wept when I was told there was a mark in his eye;

    What, then, is my state, with neither eye nor trace remaining?
