قتلننا بنواظرٍ نجلِ
Slender-waisted, with arrows aimed true,
The slender waists are pillars of nobility
They slew us with wide eyes.
Their glances have slain us, exalted men

Beauty lined the lids of their eyes with kohl,
The kohl of beauty is their eyelids
So, without kohl, they had no need of kohl.
So they have no need for kohl, with kohl-less eyes
