Claude 2

  1. وعينٍ قذاها الدمعُ والنومُ دمعُها

    ترى نومها في أيٍّ عينٍ بها يجري

    And eyes whose tears and sleep have tired,

    Their sleep is seen in which eyes that weep?

  2. خبَت ما خنَت من شدةِ الشوقِ والبُكا

    على نفسِها والنفسِ والقلب والصدرِ

    How it wept with longing and crying's force,

    Upon itself, the self, the heart and breast.

  3. بكت عبرةً ثم امترت جَفنها دماً

    جرى طاعةً للوجدِ والنومِ والصبرِ

    It wept with sadness, then its lids flowed blood,

    Obeying ardour, sleep, and patience's behest.

  4. عدمتُكِ عيناً طال عتبي بما جَنَت

    على نفسِها ما دُمتُ حياً على الدهرِ

    I blame your eyes for all the wrong they wrought

    Upon themselves while I live through the ages.
