1. أمير حسنٍ خطا والرمح في يده

    فهز في قتله العشاق رمحين

    A prince of beauty strode, the lance in his hand;

    And brandished two lances as he slew the lovers.

  2. أقطعته مهجتي فازور من غضبٍ

    وقال زدني البكا نقداً من العين

    I granted him my heart’s blood as a fief; he turned away in anger,

    And said, “Give me more weeping—ready cash from the eye.”
