1. ما أنسَ لا أنسَهُ والبَينُ جدَّ بهِ

    وفَجعةُ الدهرِ لا تُبقي ولا تَذَرُ

    Whatever I forget, I shall not forget him, while parting bore down upon him.

    And time's calamity spares nothing and leaves nothing.

  2. وفي فؤاديَ من لذعِ الهوى سَقَرٌ

    طولَ الزَّمانِ وما أداك ما سَقَرُ

    And in my heart, from love's scorching sting, is Saqar,

    For all time—and what could make you know what Saqar is?
