1. شَوْقي إِلَيْكَ مُجاوِزٌ وَصْفِي

    وَظُهورُ وَجْدِي فَوْقَ ما أُخْفِي

    My longing for you surpasses what I can describe.

    And my manifest passion exceeds what I conceal.

  2. يا لَيْتَ جِسْمي كُلَّهُ حَدَقٌ

    حتَّى تَراكَ وَلَيْتَها تكْفي

    Oh, would that my whole body were eyes,

    So they might see you—and would that they sufficed!

  3. مَا دارَ ذِكْرٌ مِنْكَ في خَلَدي

    إِلا طَرَفْتُ بِدمْعَتي طَرْفي

    No thought of you ever passed through my mind

    But I stung my eye with my tear.
