I drank a draught for what of you lies in my heart,
I drank a little draught for what was in my heart because of you,
of many kinds of medicine, to quiet my obsessive thoughts:
with various medicines, to quiet my anxieties;

وعنّاب وتزيد آيس
with pears of parting, in sesban a solace,
with plums of parting in sesbania of solace,
and jujubes—yet it makes the despairing more desperate.
and jujubes, and a despairing person's exaggeration.

And they strengthened it until, when the medicine took effect,
I shat out my love of you after the touch of one that clings.
I shat out my love for you after touching mats.
