1. إذا نأت لم تفارقني علاقتها

    وإن دنت فصدود العاتب الزاري

    When she goes far away, my attachment to her does not leave me.

    And if she draws near, she turns away like one reproachful and scornful.

  2. فحال عيني من يوميك واحدةٌ

    تبكي لفرط صدودٍ أو نوى دار

    So my eye is in the same state on both your days:

    It weeps for excessive rejection or a dwelling's remoteness.
