1. ومِن عَجبٍ قد قلَّدُوك مُهنَّدا

    وفي كلِّ لحظٍ منك سيفٌ مَهَنَّدُ

    And it is a wonder that they have girded you with an Indian blade,

    When in every glance of yours is a sword of Indian steel.

  2. إذا أنتَ قد جرَّدته أو غمَدتَه

    قَتلتَ بِه واللحظُ لا يتَعَمَّدُ

    Whether you draw it or sheathe it,

    You kill with it, though your glance has no intent to kill.
