1. مُروّعٌ بالقِلَى والصَّدِّ ليس له

    صبرٌ على الهجرِ والإعراضِ يُسْعِدُهُ

    Terrified by aversion and rejection, he has no

    patience to sustain him through estrangement and disregard.

  2. إذَا استَغَرّ الكَرى أجفانَ مُقلَتِه

    وَافَى الخيالُ بطولِ الهجرِ يُوعِدُهُ

    When slumber takes his eyelids unawares,

    the phantom arrives, threatening him with prolonged estrangement.

  3. تُذكي مدامُعُه جَمراً تسعَّر في

    حشاهُ والجمرُ فيضُ الماءِ يُخْمِدُهُ

    His tears kindle embers that blaze within

    his breast, though a flood of water quenches embers.
