1. And she asks, "Why are your tears crimson red?
Who is it whose cruelty burns you so?"
١. وقائلةٍ ما بَالُ دمعِك أحمَرُ
ومَنْ ذا الرَّشا تُقلى بِنارِ جَفَائِهِ
2. I said to her, "Separation wounds the eyes,
And it is the wounded's nature for their blood to flow."
٢. فَقُلْتُ لَها الهجْرَانُ للْعَيْنِ جَارِحٌ
ومِنْ عادَةِ المَجْروحِ سَيْلُ دِمائِهِ
