1. قد طول البرد في إقامته

    بالشام والنفس عندها ضجرة

    The cold has prolonged its stay

    In Syria, and the soul is vexed by its stay.

  2. وقلت إذ شاب منه مفرقه

    بالثلج يا برد شاخت العشرة

    And I said, when its crown turned gray from the cold

    With snow: “O cold, our companionship has grown old!”
