1. عيني لعينكَ حينَ تنظرُ مَقتلُ

    لكن عينَكَ سهمُ حتفٍ مُرسَلُ

    My eye is a vulnerable spot for yours when you look;

    But your eye is an arrow of death let loose.

  2. ومن العجائب أن معنىً واحداً

    هو منك سهمٌ وهو مني مقتلُ

    And among the wonders is that one and the same thing

    Is an arrow from you and a vulnerable spot in me.
