1. أَقولُ لِعَيني حينَ جادَت بِدَمعِها

    وَإِنسانُها في لُجَّةِ الدَمعِ يَغرَقُ

    I say to my eye as it pours forth its tears,

    And its pupil drowns in the depths of tears:

  2. خُذي بِنَصيبٍ مِن مَحاسِنِ وَجهِها

    دَعي الدَمعَ لِليَومِ الَّذي نَتَفَرَّقُ

    Take your share of the beauties of her face;

    Save your tears for the day we part.
