1. أَبكيتَ عرقاً دَمُهُ أَحمَرُ

    كَدَمعِ مَن يَبكي مِن الوَجدِ

    You made a vein weep, its blood red,

    like the tears of one who weeps from passionate longing.

  2. قامَت ذِراعٌ مِنك بِالعَين والد

    دَمعِ وَقامَ الطَّستُ بِالخَدِّ

    An arm of yours served as the eye and the—

    tears, and the basin served as the cheek.
