1. وَلَمّا عَزَّ دَمعُ العَينِ فاضَت

    دِماءً عِندَ تَرحالِ الفَريقِ

    And when the eye’s tears grew scarce, it overflowed

    with blood at the company’s departure.

  2. وَقَد نَظَمَت عَلى خَدّي سُموطاً

    مِنَ الدُرِّ المُفَصَّلِ بِالعَقيقِ

    And it had strung necklaces upon my cheek

    of pearls interspersed with carnelian.
