أقولُ لَهَا وَقَدْ مَزَجَتْ دُمُوعِي

دِمَاءً مِنْ جُفُونِي قَرَّحَتْهَا

I say to her, as she mixed my tears

With blood from my eyelids she scratched

شُهودِي فِيكِ يا لُبْنَى جُفونِي

فَما بَالُ المدامِعِ جَرَّحَتْها

My witnesses in you, O Labna, are my eyelids

So why did the tears scratch them
