1. A fair one met me in class, soft and white
And a gentle, swarthy one bequeathed frailty to my frame
١. وَقابلَني في الدَرس أَبيضُ ناعِمٌ
وَأَسمرُ لدنٌ أَورثا جسميَ الرَدى
2. One shook from his shoulder a polished lance
While the other drew from his eyelids a well-honed blade
٢. فَذا هَزَّ مِن عطفيهِ رُمحا مُثقفاً
وَذا سَلَّ مِن جفنيه عَضبا مُهندا
