1. لي علَي خَدِّ الحَبِيبِ دَمُ

    فإلى مَنْ فِيهِ أَحتَكِمُ

    I have a blood claim against my beloved’s cheek;

    to whom, then, shall I appeal for judgment in this?

  2. مَا أُبرِّي منهُ ناظِرَهُ

    وَهْوَ بِالعُشَّاقِ مُتَّهَمُ

    I do not acquit his eye of it,

    for it stands accused where lovers are concerned.
