1. أثَّرت عَينيهِ بالنَّو

    مِ جفونٌ لا تنامُ

    His eyes were marked with sleep

    by eyelids that never sleep—

  2. لمحبٍّ بينَ ثوبَي

    هِ عليلٌ وسقامُ

    a lover's, between whose two robes

    dwell an ailing man and sickness.

  3. أيُّها الناقِضُ عَهدي

    هَل لِمَن يَهوى ذِمامُ

    O you who break my pledge,

    has one who loves any claim to loyalty?

  4. أحلالٌ لكَ أن أه

    واكَ وَالوصلُ حَرامُ

    Is it lawful for you that I should love

    you, while union is forbidden?
