1. وقفت والسفن تجري في الرحيل بهم

    والدمع يجري على خدي بشاطيه

    I stood as the ships sailed away with them,

    And tears flowed down my cheek at its shore.

  2. فزاد في غير حين من زيادته

    من الدموع التي خليتها فيه

    So it swelled when it was not its season to swell,

    From the tears that I had left in it.
