1. يا مَن يَبيتُ مُحِبّهُ

    مِنهُ بِلَيلَةِ أَنقَدِ

    O you whose lover spends the night

    because of you, sleepless as Anqad the hedgehog;

  2. إِن غِبتَ عَني سُمتَني

    وَشكَ الرَدى فَكَأَن قَدِ

    if you are absent from me, you subject me

    to imminent death—as though it had already come.
