1. طَرَفتُ عُيونَ الغانِياتِ وَرُبَّما

    أَمَلنَ إِلَيَّ الطَرَفَ كُلَّ مَميلِ

    I have stung the eyes of beautiful women, though often

    They turned their gaze toward me with every inclination.

  2. وَما الشَيبُ إِلّا شَعرَةٌ غَيرَ أَنَّهُ

    قَليلُ قَذاةِ العَينِ غَيرُ قَليلِ

    And gray hair is but a single hair, yet

    A small mote in the eye is no small thing.
