1. أعورُ كالبدرِ لهُ مقلةٌ

    واحدةٌ قامَتْ مقامَ اثنتينِ

    One-eyed, like the full moon, he has an eye—

    a single one that has taken the place of two.

  2. قدْ سرقَ الرقدةَ مِنْ ناظري

    وقالَ ما جئتُكَ إلا بعينِ

    He has stolen sleep from my eye,

    and said, “I came to you with only one eye.”
