1. لَمْ يَعُدْني مُحمَّدٌ مُذْ تَشَكِّيْتُ

    وَكم جِئْتُهُ وَحَاشَاهُ عَائدْ

    Muhammad has not visited me since I complained of illness.

    And how often I have come to visit him when sick—may he be spared!

  2. وَهْوَ لا يَنكُرُ السِّراجَ وَكَمْ ضَ

    مَّهُما في المَسَاءِ وَقْتٌ وَاحِدْ

    And he does not deny knowing al-Siraj; how often has

    a single evening hour brought the two of them together!
