1. يا مُنفِذاً ماء الجُفو

    نِ وَكُنتُ أنفِقُهُ عَلَيهِ

    O you who draw forth the tears of the eyelids,

    while I used to spend them upon him.

  2. إِن لَم تَكُن عَيني فَأَن

    تَ أَعَزُّ مَن نَظَرَت إِلَيهِ

    If you are not my eye, then you

    are the dearest of those it has gazed upon.
