1. When his barber came to cut his hair
I said to him: be kind to the beloved
١. لِحَلّاقِهِ إِذ جاءَ يَحلِقُ رَأسَهُ
أَشرت لَهُ كُنْ بِالحَبيبِ رَحيما
2. And do not let the mirror see his face
Lest he fall in love with himself, besotted
٢. وَلا تُرِهِ المِرآة ينظرُ وَجههُ
فَيَعشَقُ مِنها نَفسه فيهيما
