1. ما بالُها قد حُسِّنتْ ورقيبُها

    أبداً قبيحٌ قُبِّح الرقباءُ

    Why has she been made beautiful, while her watcher

    Is always ugly? May the watchers be made ugly!

  2. ما ذاك إلا أنها شمسُ الضحى

    أبداً تكون رقيبَها الحرباءُ

    That is only because she is the midmorning sun:

    The chameleon is always her watcher.
