I complain to God of a heart that knows no rest.
Its Day of Resurrection has come while people are still alive.

إِن نالَ مِنكُم وِصالاً زادَهُ سَقماً

If it gains union with you, that increases its sickness,
As though every remedy were a disease to it.

مِنَ الرِفاعِ نَجيبُ الساقِ عَدّاءُ
As though my heart, on the day of parting, were borne away by
A noble-legged, swift runner from among the tall ones.
