1. عَيْني جَرَحَتْ وَجْنَتَهُ بالنّظَر

    من رِقّتِهَا فانْظُرْ لحُسْنِ الأثر

    My eye wounded his cheek with a glance,

    so tender was it—behold the beauty of the mark.

  2. لم أجنِ وقد جَنيتُ وَرْدَ الخَفَر

    إلاّ لترى كيفَ انشقاقُ القَمَرْ

    I did no wrong—though I plucked the rose of bashfulness—

    save that you might see how the moon is cleft.
