1. وجاهِلٍ بِالغَرامِ قُلْتُ لَهُ

    إِذْ قالَ ما الهَوى وما فِتَنُهُ

    And to one ignorant of passion I said,

    when he asked, “What is love, and what are its trials?”

  2. إِنْ كُنْتَ تَهْوى المَماتَ فاصْبُ هَوىً

    فَالصَّبُ مَيْتٌ قَميصُهُ كَفَنُهُ

    “If you desire death, then fall in love;

    for the lovesick one is dead: his shirt is his shroud.”
