1. عَن بارِقَة الثَغرِ إِذا ما اِبتَسَما

    فاضَت سُحُبُ الدَمع تُضاهي الدِيَما

    At the lightning-flash of his mouth when he smiled,

    Clouds of tears poured forth, rivaling steady rains.

  2. أَقسَمتُ بِفيهِ لا أَرى ثانيَهُ

    أَعظِم بِمَواقِع النُجومِ القَسَما

    I swore by his mouth—I see no equal to it.

    How mighty the oath by the stations of the stars!
