1. أرى للنساء الماشيات حلاوة

    فهل هن حلوات كذا في المقاصير

    I see sweetness in women as they walk.

    Are they, then, just as sweet in their secluded chambers?

  2. ولست أرى في إِلْقتي إن مشت وإن

    أقامت سوى مقت وكره وتمرير

    Yet I see nothing in my she-wolf, whether she walks or

    stays, except loathing, hatred, and bitterness.

  3. أراها بعيني حيث كانت بعينها

    فهل ذو عمى غيري يراها من الحور

    I see her with my own eyes, wherever she may be, just as she is.

    So does a blind man other than me see her as one of the houris?
