1. لا كانَ بقٌّ بِتُّ ذا أرَقٍ

    مِنهُ وَمِنْ مُتَسَعِّر الحُبِّ

    May the bedbug be no more! I spent the night sleepless,

    Because of it and the blazing heat of love.

  2. وكأنّهُ في شَكْلِه شَرَرٌ

    مُتَناثرٌ للّذْعِ من قَلبي

    And in its form it seems like sparks,

    Scattered from my heart to sting.
