1. إذا اختلجَت عيني رأت مَن تُحِبّه

    فدامَ لعيني ما حييتُ اختلاجُها

    Whenever my eye twitches, it sees the one it loves.

    So may my eye's twitching last as long as I live.

  2. وما ذُقتُ كأساً مُذ تعلّقني الهَوى

    فأشرَبها إلا ودَمعي مِزاجُها

    And since love took hold of me, I have never tasted a cup

    And then drunk it without my tears mingled in it.
