1. How wonderful the touch of her restraining hand
Wiping my weeping eyes in time of grief
١. ما أَعجَبَ مَسحَ كَفِّ ذاتِ الرَّدعِ
عَينَيَّ مِنَ البُكاءِ يَوَم الجِزعِ
2. She wipes not my eyelids, though merciful to me
But with my tears her fingers she doth dye
٢. ما تمسحُ جَفني وَهيَ لي راحِمَةٌ
لكن خَضَبتَ بَنانَها مِن دمَعي
