1. أساء إلى جفني فؤادي بناره

    ودمعي إلى خدّي بطولِ انحدارِه

    My heart has wronged my eyelid with its fire,

    And my tears have wronged my cheek with their long descent.

  2. أَيأخذُ دمعي حُرَّ خدّى بما جنى

    فؤادي لقد أخطأ مكانَ انتصارهِ

    Do my tears punish the smooth surface of my cheek for what

    My heart has done? They have surely sought vengeance in the wrong place.
