1. كَلَفِي بِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْضِ دَيْنِي

    سَبَبٌ إِلى تَلَفِي وَحَيْنِي

    My infatuation with one who has not paid me my due

    is a cause leading to my ruin and death.

  2. عَشِقَ السَّقَامُ جُفُونَهُ

    عِشْقَ السُّهَادِ جُفُونَ عَيْنِي

    Sickness fell in love with his eyelids

    as sleeplessness loves the eyelids of my eye.

  3. لَمْ يَكْفِني هجْرانُهُ

    حَتَّى تَعَقَّبَني بِبَيْنِ

    His shunning me was not enough;

    he even pursued me with separation.
