1. سَأَثني عَلى تِلكَ الثَنايا لِأَنَّني

    أَقولُ عَلى عِلمٍ وَأَنطِقُ عَن خُبرِ

    I shall praise those front teeth, for I

    Speak with knowledge and speak from experience.

  2. وَأُنصِفُها لا أَكذِبُ اللَهَ أَنَّني

    رَشَفتُ بِها ريقاً أَلَذُّ مِنَ الخَمرِ

    And I do them justice—I do not lie to God—in saying that I

    Have sipped from them saliva more delightful than wine.
