1. عدوَى جفونِكَ لَيسَ تَنصَرِمُ

    لا نالَ جسمَكَ ذلك السقمُ

    The contagion of your eyelids never ceases.

    May that sickness never touch your body.

  2. هيَ أكسَبت جِسمي الضَّنى وبها

    قلبي إليهِ فإلفُهُ الألَمُ

    It has brought wasting sickness to my body, and through it

    my heart turns toward him; pain is its companion.

  3. يا مَن مَحاسِنُ وجههِ علَمٌ

    ومحبُّهُ في حبهِ عَلَمُ

    O you whose face’s beauties are a beacon,

    and whose lover is a beacon in loving him.

  4. إني بكيتُ بعَبرتي بدني

    حتَّى جَرى بعدَ الدموعِ دَمُ

    Indeed, I wept over my body with my tears,

    until blood flowed after the tears.
