1. I remembered you as the swords were slashing
My wrists with oppressive blows
١. وَلَقَد ذَكَرتُكَ وَالصّوارمُ قَطّعَت
مِنّي الوَريدَ بِضَربِ عاتٍ ظالمِ
2. I kissed them for in their gleam
They resembled the radiant light of your smile
٢. قَبلتها إِذ أَشبَهَت في بَرقِها
وَجَمالِ وَجهك بَرقَ فيكَ الباسِمِ
