1. وقائلةٍ ما بَالُ دمعِك أحمَرُ

    ومَنْ ذا الرَّشا تُقلى بِنارِ جَفَائِهِ

    And a woman asked, "Why are your tears red?

    And who is this young gazelle whose fire of rejection scorches you?"

  2. فَقُلْتُ لَها الهجْرَانُ للْعَيْنِ جَارِحٌ

    ومِنْ عادَةِ المَجْروحِ سَيْلُ دِمائِهِ

    So I told her, "Separation wounds the eye,

    And it is the wounded one's nature to bleed."
