1. ورب أعمى وجهه روضةٌ

    تنزهى فيها كثير الديون

    And many a blind man's face is a garden,

    where one laden with debts takes his pleasure.

  2. في خده وردٌ غنينا به

    عن نرجسٍ ما فتحته العيون

    On his cheek is a rose that has sufficed us

    in place of narcissus that the eyes have not opened.
