1. وأغيدَ من أبناءِ لحظةَ شادنٍ

    ينوء كما يَعطو بخُوطَته البانُ

    And a supple youth among Laḥẓa’s sons, a young gazelle,

    Sways as the bān tree reaches out with its slender bough.

  2. وَدابتُه مهراقةٌ خلف ظهره

    كما التفَّ بالغصنِ المنعمِ ثُعبانُ

    And his mount lies spilled out behind his back,

    Like a serpent coiled around a tender branch.
