1. مِنْ وَجِههِ يطلُعُ نَجمُ المُشتَري

    ياقوتُهُ يُثمِرُ شَهْداً فاشْتَرِ

    From his face rises the star of Jupiter.

    His ruby yields honey, so buy.

  2. يا مَنْ نَضا باللَّحظِ سَيْفَ الأشتَرِ

    إذا وجدْتَ الحُرَّ عبداً فاشْتَرِ

    O you who unsheathed al-Ashtar’s sword with a glance,

    If you find a free man enslaved, then buy him.
