1. كيفَ الخَلاصُ لقلبي من يَديْ قَمَرٍ

    أَسيرُ ناظِرِهِ بالوَجدِ مَغلُولُ

    How can my heart escape from the hands of a moon?

    It is captive to his gaze, shackled by longing.

  2. جُرحي لديهِ جُبارٌ لا قِصاصَ له

    في حكمِه ودمي في الحبِّ مطلُولُ

    My wound, to him, goes uncompensated; no retribution is due for it

    under his judgment; and in love my blood is shed unavenged.
