1. أظهر الكبرياءَ من فرط زهوٍ

    فتلقَّيتُه بذلِّ الخضوعِ

    He displayed arrogance from an excess of pride;

    so I received him with abject submission.

  2. وحباني ربيع خدَّيه بالور

    د فأمطرتُه سحابَ الدموعِ

    And the spring of his cheeks bestowed roses upon me;

    so I rained clouds of tears upon him.
