- قَبَّلْتُهَا وَدُمُوعِي مَزْجُ أَدْمُعِهَا // وَقَبَّلَتْنِي عَلَى خَوْفٍ فَمًا لِفَمِ
فَذُقْتُ مَاءَ حَيَاةٍ مِنْ مُقَبَّلِهَا // لَوْ صَابَ تُرْبًا لَأَحْيَا سَالِفَ الْأُمَمِ- qabbaltuhā wadumūʿī mazju ʾadmuʿihā // waqabbalatnī ʿalā ḵawfin faman lifami
faḏuqtu māʾa ḥayātin min muqabbalihā // law ṣāba turban laʾaḥyā sālifa l-ʾumami - I kissed her, and my tears mixed with hers, // and she kissed me timidly, mouth to mouth.
I tasted the water of life from her kiss, // which may revive the ancestors, if it hit the earth.
- qabbaltuhā wadumūʿī mazju ʾadmuʿihā // waqabbalatnī ʿalā ḵawfin faman lifami
- 13th Century CE, Al-Busiri, Qasīdat al-Burda:
- أَمِنْ تَذَكُّرِ جِيرَانٍ بِذِي سَلَمِ مَزَجْتَ دَمْعًا جَرَى مِنْ مُقْلَةٍ بِدَمِ
- ʾamin taḏakkuri jīrānin biḏī salami mazajta damʿan jarā min muqlatin bidami
- Is it because of your remembrance of the neighbours of Dhi-salam that tears mixed with blood are flowing
