1. رميتُكَ عن حُكمِ القَضاءِ بنظرَةٍ

    ومالِي عن حُكمِ القَضاءِ مَناصُ

    I shot at you with a glance by fate's decree,

    And I have no escape from fate's decree.

  2. فلمّا جرحْتُ الخَدَّ مِنكَ بنظرَةٍ

    جرحْتَ فؤادي والجُروحُ قِصاصُ

    So when I wounded your cheek with a glance,

    You wounded my heart, and wounds are repaid in kind.
