لئن جرحت خدّي فلانة مقلتي

لقد جرحاها بالدموع السواجم

If Lana has wounded my cheek, my eyelids have wounded hers

They have wounded them with copious ever-flowing tears

شكى خدّها لحظي ولحظيَ خدّها

ولا ظالمٌ إلا ويبلى بظالم

Her cheek complained of my glance, and my cheek of her glance

There is no oppressor but fades under an oppressor's might
