1. وَمِن طاعَتي إِيّاهُ أَمطَرَ ناظِري

    إِذا هُوَ أَبدى مِن ثَناياهُ لي بَرقا

    And out of my obedience to him, my eye rains

    Whenever he shows me a lightning-flash from his front teeth.

  2. كَأَن دُموعي تُبصِرُ الوَصلَ هارِباً

    فَمن أَجلِهِ تَجري لِتُدرِكُهُ سَبقا

    As though my tears see union fleeing,

    So for its sake they run, racing to catch it.
