1. أهوى الصغار فإن لاحَ العِذار فقلْ

    في لوعةٍ خمدت من بعدِ ما حميت

    I love the young; if cheek-down appears, then speak

    of a passion quenched after it had burned hot.

  2. وقلْ لمن قالَ في خدِّي زمرُّدةٌ

    لذاكَ حيَّةُ إيري عنكَ قد عميَتْ

    And tell whoever said, “There is an emerald on my cheek”:

    “That is why the snake of my cock has gone blind to you.”
