ظُعنٌ اذا قابَلنَ قصر مقاتلٍ

فالقَلبُ في أثَرِ الذين تَيَمّمُوا

The berries yearn when facing a warrior's palace

For the hearts of those who have persevered

نَظَرَت اليك بمقلةٍ مكحولةٍ

نظراً يكادُ بطرفِهِ يَتَكَلَّمُ

She looked at you with kohl-rimmed eyelids

A gaze that could almost speak with a glance
