And as if camphor tears had flowed

وكأن كافور الدموع وقد جرى

1. And as if camphor tears had flowed
Down his cheek, pearls and rubies

١. وَكأَنَّ كافورَ الدُّموعِ وَقَدْ جَرى
بِخلوقِهِ مِنْها عَلَى الخَدِّ

2. Falling between in drops
Like kohl from an eye-powder container.

٢. دُرٌّ وَياقُوتٌ تَساقَطَ بَيْنَهُ
في نَثْرِهِ كُحْلٌ مِنَ النَّدِّ

3. As though her eyelids' tears
Were strung around her throat in place of a necklace.

٣. وَكَأَنَّما نَظَمَتْ دُمُوع جُفُونِها
في نَحْرِها بَدَلا مِنَ العِقْدِ

4. If she called to the dead with her eloquence
He would answer her from the grave.

٤. لَوْ أَنَّها نادَتْ بِحُسْنِ كَلامِها
مَيْتاً لَلَبَّاها مِنَ اللحْدِ
