لحظي إلا كي تضيق مذاهبي
A gazelle among the Turks—his gaze did not narrow
A gazelle with narrowed eyes
At my glance except to narrow my paths.
My eyes narrow only when your doctrine narrows

تصيدهُ من هدبه بمخالب
As though the heart were a bird, and his eyelid’s raptor
As though the bushes were a bird whose eyelids the hunter
Hunted it with talons made of his lashes.
Snares in his talons
