1. I ransom a traveler who rode the howdahs
And left his mark on their beautiful trappings
١. فديتُ مسافِراً ركِبَ الفيافي
وأَثَّرَ في محاسِنِهِ السِّفارُ
2. Who held a rose to his cheeks in farewell
And the dust was ambergris on his temples
٢. فمسَّكَ وردَ خدَّيهِ السَّوافي
وعَنْبَر مِسْكَ صدغَيْهِ الغبارُ
