1. قُلتُ له وَالدَمعُ في وَجنتي

    مِن لَوعةِ الأَشجانِ مَدفوقُ

    I said to him, as tears upon my cheek

    Poured forth from the burning anguish of sorrow:

  2. لَيسَ كمثلي في الوَرى عاشقٌ

    قالَ ولا مثليَ مَعشوقُ

    “No lover among humankind is like me.”

    He said, “Nor is any beloved like me.”
