1. أَقول لِعابثٍ بي مُقلَتاه

    بِلبّي إنَّ ذا سحر الجُفونِ

    I say to one whose two eyes toy with me—

    With my very mind—“This is indeed the magic of eyelids.

  2. فَدَيتك لَو سحرت نهى عذولي

    فَقال إِذا أَرَدت فَمِن عُيوني

    May I be your ransom! If only you would bewitch my reproacher’s reason!”

    He said, “If you wish, then from my eyes it shall be.”
