1. رَسَا الحبُّ فِي قَلْبِي وَلم يُبْقِ مَغْرَسَا

    لِغَيْرِ هَوًى ألْقَى عَلَى مُهْجَتِي الأسَى

    Love settled firmly in my heart and left no planting-place

    for anything but a passion that cast sorrow upon my soul.

  2. وَمَاذَا عَسَى يُغْنِي الصَّبَاحُ وَقَدْ بَدَا

    دجى ليل لاَ من بعد سوفَ وعَسْعَسَا

    And what might morning avail, when there has appeared

    the gloom of a night of 'no' after 'will,' and night has closed in?
