1. ما كانَ أَغناكَ عَن هَمّ خَلَوتَ بِهِ

    فينا يُخاطِبُ قَلباً كُلُّهُ دامِ

    How little you needed a grief you brooded over alone,

    On our account, as it speaks to a heart that bleeds all over.

  2. لَأَنتَ في عامِكَ الماضي أَقَرُّ بِنا

    عَيناً وَأَنعَمُ بالاً مِنكَ في العامِ

    Indeed, last year, with us, you had greater joy

    In your eyes, and greater peace of mind than you have this year.
