1. I offered her whatever she wished for from delights
That she may consent, but she said "Arise and bring me a star"

2. So I said to her "This obstinacy altogether
Is like one who craves to eat the meat of a western oryx"

3. Thus I swear even if I wake up in the glory of a king
And in his generosity I attain my wish

4. A young man whose wealth was miserable due to his generosity
Just as Bakr was miserable due to the spears of Taghlib
