1. The eye has a lesson from the boon of sight
If it's wrapped above a horn, who can hide it?
١. للعَيْنِ مِنْ عِمّة البُنّيِّ مُعْتَبَرٌ
إنْ لَفّها فوقَ قرْنٍ مَنْ يُخَفّيهِ
2. What passes between palm and thumb
As if they were strainers filtering it
٢. ما بيْنَ كفٍّ وإبهامٍ يمُرُّ بِها
كأنّما هيَ مَصْرانٌ يُصَفّيهِ
