1. أَبا العبّاسِ فيمَ بخلتَ عنّي

    بِشمسِ علاكَ في يوم العبوسِ

    Abu al-Abbas, why have you withheld from me

    The sun of your eminence on the day of gloom,

  2. وَمشرِقُها وَمغربها فُؤادي

    وَطَرفي السالمان من النحوسِ

    When its rising-place and setting-place are my heart

    And my eye, both free from ill fortune?
