1. يَقُولُونَ لا تَنظُر وَتِلكَ بَلِيَّةٌ

    أَلاَ كُلُّ ذِى عَينَينِ لا بُدَّ ناظِرُ

    They say, “Do not look”—and that is an affliction.

    Surely everyone with two eyes is bound to look.

  2. وَلَيسَ اكتِحَالُ العَين بِالعَينِ رِيبَةً

    إِذا عَفَّ فِيما بَينَهُنَّ الضَّمائِرُ

    Nor is an eye's taking another eye as kohl cause for suspicion,

    if the innermost thoughts between them remain chaste.
