أَرْسَلْتُ عَيْنِي فِي حُلاَكَ بِنَظْرَةٍ

هِيَ كَانِتِ السَّبَبَ الْقَرِيبَ لِمَا بِي

I sent my eyes into your encampment with a glance

It was the proximate cause of what has befallen me

وَأَرَاكَ بِالْعَبَراتِ قَدْ عَاقَبْتَهَا

لَيْسَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَوْضَعِ لِعِقَابِ

And I saw you reproaching those tears

The messenger is not the object of reproach
