1. وشاحُ من أحببتها قال لي

    وهو الذي في قوله قد صدق

    The sash of the woman I loved said to me,

    And it was indeed truthful in its words:

  2. قد ضاع مني الخصر لما انثنت

    أما تراني دائراً في قلق

    “Her waist was lost to me when she swayed;

    Do you not see me circling in distress?”
