1. أَفْدِي الَّتي بَرَزَتْ كالشَّمْسِ في الأُفقِ

    فَفاقَ بَدْرَ الدُّجَى في ظُلْمَةِ الغَسَقِ

    I would give my life for her who appeared like the sun on the horizon,

    And outshone the full moon of night in the darkness of dusk.

  2. لَمَّا بَدَتْ رَشَقَتْ قَلبي لَواحِظُها

    مَنْ مُنْصِفي في الهَوى مِنْ أَسْهُمِ الحَدقِ

    When she appeared, her glances pierced my heart.

    Who will do me justice in love against the arrows of her eyes?
