1. حَبيبي مُعرضٌ عنِّي مُولِّ

    يباعدني على قرب المحلّ

    My beloved shuns me, turning his back;

    He keeps me at a distance, though his dwelling is near.

  2. أرى ناراً وبي بردٌ شَديدٌ

    ولكنْ لا سبيلَ إلى التّصلّي

    I see a fire, and I am bitterly cold,

    But there is no way to warm myself by it.
