1. يا قاتِلَ صَبِّهِ بِسَهمي نَظَرِه

    ما ظَرَّكَ لَو أَرَحتَهُ مِن سَهرِه

    O you who slay your lovesick lover with the twin arrows of your gaze,

    What harm would it do you to relieve him of his sleeplessness?

  2. أَدرِكنِيَ إِن شِئتَ وَأَنعِم نَظَراً

    قالقَلبُ مَضى وَمُهجَتي في أَثَرِه

    Rescue me, if you wish, and look closely:

    For the heart has departed, and my life's blood follows in its wake.
