1. نَعَبَ الغُرابُ بِبَينِ لَيلى غَدوَةً

    إِنَّ الكِتابَ بِبَينَهُم مَخطوطا

    The crow croaked of Layla’s parting at dawn.

    Indeed, the decree concerning their parting is written.

  2. أَصبَحتُ مِن أَهلي الَّذينَ أُحِبُهُم

    كَالسَهمِ أَصبَحَ ريشَهُ مَمروطا

    Away from my kin, whom I love, I have become

    like an arrow whose feathers have been plucked bare.
