1. أَقولُ لِعَيني حينَ جادَت بِدَمعِها

    وَإِنسانُها في لُجَّةِ الدَمعِ يَغرَقُ

    I say to my eyes when they weep generously

    And their human drowns in the abundance of tears

  2. خُذي بِنَصيبٍ مِن مَحاسِنِ وَجهِها

    دَعي الدَمعَ لِليَومِ الَّذي نَتَفَرَّقُ

    Take your share of the beauty of her face

    Leave the tears for the day we part
