1. شُغِفَ الفُؤادُ بِجارَةِ الجَنبِ

    فَظَلِلتُ ذا أَسَفٍ وَذا كَربِ

    The heart was smitten with the woman next door.

    So I remained full of sorrow and anguish.

  2. يا جارَتي أَمسَيتِ مالِكَةً

    روحي وَغالِيَةً عَلى لُبّي

    O my neighbor, you have become mistress of

    my soul, and precious to my mind.
