1. إن جزْتَ بحيّ لي على الأبْرَقِ حيْ

    وابلِغْ خَبَري فإنني أُحْسَبُ حيْ

    If you pass by my people at al-Abraq, greet them.

    And convey my news, for I am thought to be alive.

  2. قُلْ ماتَ مُعَنّاكُمْ غراماً وجَوىً

    في الحُبّ وما اعتاض عن الرّوح بشَي

    Say: The one you torment has died of passion and burning anguish

    In love, and received nothing in exchange for his soul.
