1. لكَ اللهُ من قَلْبٍ على الحُبِّ ما صَحا

    وجَفْنٍ وشَى بالسِّرِّ منّي وأفْصَحا

    God help you, heart that never sobered from love,

    And eyelid that betrayed my secret and spoke plainly.

  2. رَوى عنْهُ خَدّي مُسْنِداً ومُسَلْسِلاً

    حَديثَ دُموعِ العيْنِ حتّى تجرّحا

    My cheek narrated on its authority, citing its source and linking the chain,

    The tale of the eye’s tears, until my cheek grew raw.
