1. دُموعٌ جَرى يَوم الوَداعِ خَلوقُها

    فَشَقَّ عَلَينا ما جَناهُ شَقيقُها

    Tears whose saffron perfume flowed on the day of farewell;

    and grievous to us was what their anemone wrought.

  2. عَزَمنا عَلى كِتمانِ ما في قُلوبِنا

    مِنَ الوَجدِ حَتّى عاقَ عَنهُ عَقيقُها

    We resolved to conceal what lay within our hearts

    of longing, until their carnelian kept us from it.
