أَصابَت عَينَها عَينٌ فَزيدَت

فُتوراً في المِلاحَةِ وَاِنكِسارا

Her eyes met other eyes, so they

Grew dimmer in their perception and their light;

وَصارَ لِغَمزِها عَدَدٌ إِذا ما

أَشارَ إِلَيهِ لَحظٌ أَو أَشارا

And numberless, when signaled by a glance

Or gesture, were the meanings of her plight.
