1. صارَمتِهِ فَتَواصَلَت أَحزانُهُ

    وَهَجَرتِهِ فَتَهاجَرَت أَجفانُهُ

    You broke with him, so his sorrows followed one another.

    And you forsook him, so his eyelids shunned one another.

  2. قَالَت تُعَرِّضُ مَسُّ شَيطانٍ بِهِ

    بَل أَنتِ حينَ مَلَكتِهِ شَيطانُهُ

    She said, insinuating, “A devil has touched him.”

    Rather, you were his devil when you took possession of him.

  3. قَد ضَلَّ عَنهُ فُؤادُهُ فَاِستَخبِري

    عَينَيكِ أَينَ مَحَلُّهُ وَمَكانُهُ

    His heart has strayed away from him, so ask

    Your eyes where its dwelling and resting place are.
