1. وَدِدتُ سَقامَ جِسمي في غَرامي

    بِمَنْ شَمس الضّحى وَالبدرَ أزرَى

    I wished for my body to sicken in my love

    For one who put the midmorning sun and full moon to shame.

  2. فَنِلت السّقمَ يا تيهي سُروراً

    فَقَد أَشبهته عَيناً وَخصرا

    So I gained sickness with joy—oh, my pride!

    For I have come to resemble him in eye and waist.
