جنى لَحظُ عَيني مِن محاسِنِ وَجهِهِ

ولمْ أدرِ أنَّ اللحْظَ لّما جتى جنى

My gaze reaped the beauty of his face

Yet I knew not that when it glanced, it reaped.

أشارَ يُمَنِّيني بوَصلٍ أن اصْطَبِرْ

فكلَّفَني فيما بهِ قد عنى عَنا

With intimacy he gestured, bidding me patience-

Thus he burdened me with that which he intended.
