وَلَقَد ذَكَرتُكَ وَالصّوارمُ قَطّعَت

مِنّي الوَريدَ بِضَربِ عاتٍ ظالمِ

I remembered you as the swords were slashing

My wrists with oppressive blows

قَبلتها إِذ أَشبَهَت في بَرقِها

وَجَمالِ وَجهك بَرقَ فيكَ الباسِمِ

I kissed them for in their gleam

They resembled the radiant light of your smile
