1. وَبيضٍ قَد قَعَدنَ وَكُلُّ كُحلٍ

    بِأَعيُنِهِنَّ أَصبَحَ لا يَليقُ

    And fair women have sat in mourning, and all the kohl

    In their eyes now no longer clings.

  2. أَضاعَ بُضوعَهُنَّ مُصابُ بِشرٍ

    وَطَعنِةُ فاتِكٍ فَمَتى تُفيقُ

    Their loins lie forsaken through the loss of Bishr

    And a killer’s thrust—so when will you recover?
