This poem was written by: Qais Bin Al-Mulooh (also named: Majnoon Laila which means "Crazy about Laila")
He loved his Cousin "Laila" and started writing poems about her, and because everyone knew about this love, Laila's father prevented this marriage (Arabs used to consider it as a shame if a love was spread out to the public and then the two couples got married) and forced his daughter to marry another man.
Because of that Qais felt very sad and started wandering everywhere writing poems about Laila until he died.
تعود مريضا أسقمته بهجرها ولو عادته عاد لا يعرف السقما
لقد أضرمت في القلب نارا من الجوى فما تركت عظما ولا تركت لحما
how to read it
ta3oodu mareedhan asqamt'hu behajreha wa lw 3adat'hu 3ada la ya3refu ssaqama
laqad adhramat fel qalbi naran menal jawa fama tarakat 3a6'man wa la tarakat la7ma
Explanation
She visits a patient who is sick because of her neglect and abandonment, and whenever she visits him he regains his health back
and because he is missing her too much a fire was ignited in his heart and left no flesh neither bones.
