1. أما تنفك باكيةً بعينٍ

    غزيرٍ دمعها كمد حشاها

    Does she never cease weeping, with an eye

    whose tears are copious, her heart grief-stricken?

  2. تنادي حفرةً أعيت جواباً

    فقد ولهت وصم بها صداها

    She calls to a grave that cannot answer;

    for she has become distraught, and her echo has grown deaf within it.
