1. إنَّ عَيْني وَهْيَ عُضْوٌ دَنِفٌ

    ما علَى مَنْ كابَدَتْهُ جَلَدا

    Indeed, my eye, though an ailing organ,

    has not surpassed in endurance the one it has struggled against.

  2. مَا كَفَاهَا بُعْدُهَا عنكَ إلى

    أَنْ دَهَاهَا وَكُفِيتَ الرَّمَدا

    Its distance from you was not enough for it, until

    eye inflammation struck it—may you be spared it.
