1. A glance from an eye I made excuses for
Beware, as the cross-eyed one glanced
١. وَنَظرَةُ عَين تَعلّلتُها
حذاراً كَما نَظَر الأَحوَلُ
2. I divided it between the face of the beloved
And the gaze of the watcher, lest he be distracted
٢. تَقَسَّمتُها بَينَ وَجه الحَبيب
وَطَرف الرَقيب مَتى يَغفَلُ
