1. قد قلت لما قيل دمعك هكذا

    يجري ولم يظفر بوصل يؤثر

    I said, when told, “Your tears like this

    flow, yet have won no cherished union,”

  2. دمع يكون على المحاجر سعيه

    بالله قل لي كيف لا يتعثر

    “Tears whose course lies over the eye sockets—

    by God, tell me, how could they not stumble?”
