1. حُورٌ جَعَلْنَ وقَدْ رَحَلْنَ وَدَاعَنا

    بِمَدامِعٍ نَطَقَتْ وَهُنَّ سُكوتُ

    Dark-eyed maidens, as they departed, bade us farewell

    With tearful eyes that spoke while they were silent.

  2. فَعُيونُها سَبَجٌ ونَثْرُ دُموعِها

    دُرٌّ وحُمْرُ خُدودِها ياقوتُ

    For their eyes are jet, and their scattered tears

    Are pearls, and the red of their cheeks is ruby.
