1. أتيتُك راجلاً ووددتُ أنّي

    جعلتُ سواد عيني أمتطيه

    I came to you on foot, and wished that I

    had made the black of my eye a mount to ride.

  2. ومالي لا أُسَعّي على المآقي

    على قبرٍ رسولُ اللّه فيه

    And why should I not hasten on the corners of my eyes

    at a grave in which the Messenger of God lies?
