1. وَيحَ قَلبي من كاسِرِ الطرفِ أَضحى

    فيه قَلبي كَما تَرى مكسُورَا

    Alas for my heart, because of one with a languid gaze—

    my heart has become, as you see, broken over him.

  2. قد حَمَى ثَغْرَهُ بِعَينيهِ عَنّي

    وكذاكَ السُّيوفُ تَحمى الثُّغُورَا

    He has guarded his mouth from me with his eyes,

    and likewise swords guard the frontiers.
