1. مُزِجت دموعُ العين من

    ي يوم بانُوا بالدماءِ

    The tears of my eye were mingled,

    on the day they departed, with blood.

  2. فكأنما مزجت لِخَد

    دي مُقلتي خمراً بماءِ

    And it was as though, for my cheek,

    my eye had mixed wine with water.

  3. ذهب البكاء بعَبْرتي

    حتى بكيتُ على البكاءِ

    Weeping carried away my tears,

    until I wept over weeping itself.
