I shot but missed, she shot and hit

رميت فلم أصب ورمت فأصمت

1. I shot but missed, she shot and hit
So strange that my arrow goes astray

١. رَمَيْتُ فَلَمْ أُصِبْ وَرَمَتْ فَأَصْمَتْ
فَيَا عَجَبَاً لِسَهْمٍ لا يَطِيشُ

2. Her eyebrows’ frown and glance, I admit
Are arrows - her lashes the feathers’ play

٢. حَواجِبُهَا الْقِسِيُّ وَلَحْظَتَاها
بِهَا سَهْمَانِ وَالأَهْدَابُ رِيشُ
