1. ربَّ شيعيَّةٍ إلى بردِ فيها

    بيَ حرٌّ وجفنُها في فتورِ

    For the coolness of many a Shiʿi woman’s mouth

    I burn, while her eyelid is languid.

  2. لي ضلوعٌ في كربلا مِنْ جفاها

    ودموعٌ في عيدِ يومِ الغديرِ

    My ribs are in Karbala because of her coldness,

    And my tears at the feast of the Day of Ghadir.
