1. When she saw my determination firmly set on parting
And my patience had unsettled her at the point of separation
١. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ عَزْمِي حَثِيثاً عَلَى السُّرَى
وَقَدْ رَابَهَا صَبْرِي عَلَى مَوْقِفِ الْبَيْنِ
2. She came with tears flowing like the copious sea
And I contested with tears condensed in one eye
٢. أََتَتْ بِصِحَاحِ الْجَوْهَرِيّ دُمُوعُهَا
فَعَارَضْتُ مِنْ دَمْعِي بِمُخْتَصَرِ الْعَيْنِ
