1. وَمُختَلِسٍ بِالطَرفِ مَا لا يَنالُهُ

    قَريباً بِحالِ النازحِ المُتَباعِدِ

    And one who steals with his gaze what he cannot reach,

    though nearby, in the plight of one far away and distant.

  2. وَفي نَظَرِ الصادي إِلى الماءِ حَسرَةٌ

    إِذا كانَ مَمنوعاً سَبِيلَ المَوارِدِ

    And there is anguish in the thirsty man's gaze at water,

    when he is denied the path to the watering places.
