1. وأغنّ بحلظه شك قلبي

    فيه نارُ الهوى غدت موقُوده

    And a soft-voiced one pierced my heart with his glance;

    within it, the fire of passion has been kindled.

  2. يا حُشا الصّبّ أسهم اللّحظ منها

    وجُمارُ الضّرام تشويكُ بُوده

    O lover’s heart, from it come the arrows of the glance,

    and the embers of the blaze scorch you—perhaps as a crucible.
