جاءت لِوَداعي وَهيَ نَشوَى القَدِّ

تَبكي بِدُموعٍ سَيلُها كالَمدِّ

She came to bid me farewell, overflowing with passion

Weeping with tears pouring like a flood

لَكِن دَمعُها مُنصَبِغٌ بِخَدِّها

إذ قَد صَبَغَت حُمرُ دُموعي خَدِّي

Yet her tears were tainted on her cheek

For the redness of my tears had stained my own cheek
