ولامسَهُ قلبي فآلمَ كفَّهُ

فمِن لَمسِ قلبي في أنامِلهِ عقرُ

My heart touched his hand thus hurting his palm

From my heart's touch within his fingers lies harm

وَمرَّ بِفكرِي خاطِراً فَجرحتُهُ

وَلم أرَ خلقاً قطُّ يجرحُهُ الفِكرُ

A thought passed through my mind so I hurt it

Never have I seen one's thoughts cause them damage or conflict
