1. قد ضاقَ واللهِ جسمي فيكَ عن رُوحِي

    فلا تَسَلْنِيَ عن وجْدي وتبريحي

    By God, my body has grown too narrow for my soul because of you.

    So do not ask me about my passion and my torment.

  2. تُخفي الذوأَبةُ عنِّي شَعْرَته

    يا رَبِّ سلِّط عليها صوْلةَ الرِّيحِ

    The forelock hides his strand of hair from me.

    O my Lord, unleash upon it the wind's onslaught.
