1. قالوا أَتَرى جمر صِباه باخا

    دَعه فَعَلى الثَوب تَرى أَوساخا

    They said, “Do you think the embers of his youth have died down?

    Leave him be, for you see stains upon the garment.”

  2. لَم يدر أَحِبَّتي وَقَد وَرَّطَني

    في أَيّ مَخاضَةٍ برجلي ساخا

    My dear ones did not know—he had already ensnared me—

    what ford he had plunged my feet into.
