1. لما اعتنقنا لوداع النوى

    وكدت من حرِّ الجوى أحرقه

    When we embraced in farewell before parting,

    And I nearly burned him with the heat of love's anguish,

  2. رأيتُ قلبي سارَ قدامهُ

    وأدمعي تجري وما تلحقه

    I saw my heart had gone ahead of him,

    While my tears ran, yet could not catch him.
