لا تتعرض لنا فإنَّ لنا
لواحظاً زانَ سحرها المَرَضُ
Do not venture against us—for we possess
Glances, their magic made lovelier by languor.
إذا أصابت بنظرةٍ أحَداً
فما له عن حياته غرض
Should they strike anyone with a glance,
He has no desire to go on living.
كم من جريحٍ بسهم مقلتها
جراحُه ما تزال تَنتَقِضُ
How many a man lies wounded by the arrow of her eye—
His wounds never cease reopening.
