1. I sang of the jurists as a solace
Then the bachelor came with his particular beauty
١. وأغنّ في الفقهاء رمت تسلياً
فأتى العذار بحسنه المخصوص
2. And I prepared the opening verse of passion when he aimed
At a cheek, which did not annul what was set down
٢. وأعدت فاتحة الهوى إذ نصَّ في
خدّ فلم تبطل على المنصوص
