1. نسخت مقلتاه عقلي ابتداء

    فهي للإبتداء منهُ نواسخ

    His two eyes effaced my reason at the outset;

    thus they are, from him, abrogators of the beginning.

  2. سلخ الصّبر عن فُؤادي منهُ

    أسودُ الفرع فهو أسود سالخ

    Patience was stripped from my heart by him—

    the black-haired one: he is a black serpent shedding its skin.
