1. شكت وجعاً في عينها فاجبتها

    لقد باتَ كلٌّ آخذاً ثارهُ بهِ

    She complained of pain in her eye, so I answered her:

    Indeed, each has spent the night taking his revenge through that pain.

  2. فكم اوجَعت قَلبا برشوق سهامها

    كَذلك يَجزي اللَهُ كلّا بذنبهِ

    For how many a heart her eye has wounded with volleys of its arrows!

    Thus does God requite each for his sin.
