رَأى المَحبوب في جفنيَّ كحلاً

فَأَنكره وَقال أَرى سَوادا

He saw the beloved in my eyes as kohl

So he denied it and said, "I see but darkness"

فَقُلت قَضى لِهَجرك نَوم عَيني

وَتِلكَ جُفونها لَبست حدادا

I said, "My eyes have lost sleep from your abandonment

And those lids have put on mourning clothes"
