1. ما لي وَحَديثِ وَصلِ مَن أَهواها

    حَسبي لشفاء عِلَّتي ذِكراها

    What have I to do with talk of union with her whom I love?

    Remembering her suffices to cure my ailment.

  2. هَذا وَإِذا قَضيتُ نَحبي أَسَفاً

    يَكفينيَ أَن أُعَدَّ مِن قَتلاها

    So it is; and if I die of grief,

    It suffices for me to be counted among those she has slain.
