1. ما مَرَّ تُذكر الكَرى في بالي

    إِلّا دَفَعتهُ راحة البلبال

    Never did the thought of slumber cross my mind

    But the palm of anguish drove it away.

  2. أَشفَقت مِن الجُنون لَما يُؤدي

    أَقدام خَيالك العَزيز الغالي

    I feared madness at what might be brought about

    By the feet of your dear, precious apparition.
