1. Is his belt truly girded round his waist,
Or are the ends left loose for all to see?
١. هَل شُدَّ نِطاقُه بحقويهِ يُناط
إِلّا وَعَلى الرؤوسِ تاه الأَوساط
2. Speak not of his slender waist to anyone -
None but his belt its secret can relay.
٢. لا تَروِ حَديثَ خَصره عَن أَحَدٍ
ما غَيرُ نِطاقِهِ بِذا السرِّ أَحاط
