1. يُعَاهِدُنِي دَمْعِي عَلَى كَتْمِ سِرّهِ

    وَيَجْرِي إِذَا ذِكْرٌ جَرَى وَيَمِينُ

    My tears pledge to me to conceal their secret.

    Yet they flow whenever a mention is made and an oath is sworn.

  2. وَمَا ذَاكَ إِلاَّ مِنْ نَجِيعِي خَضَبْتُهُ

    وَلَيْسَ لِمَخْضُوبِ الْبَنَانِ يَمِينُ

    That is only because I have dyed them with my lifeblood.

    And one whose fingertips are dyed has no oath.
