1. عَلِقَ الفُؤَادُ بِظَبْيَةٍ عَجَّانةٍ

    ما كُنْتُ يَوْماً آمِناً مِنْ هَجْرِها

    The heart fell in love with a dough-kneading gazelle.

    Not a day was I safe from her desertion.

  2. عَجَنَتْ فُؤَادِي بِالغَرامِ فَماؤُهَا

    مِنْ أَدْمُعي وَدَقِيقُها مِنْ خَصْرِهَا

    She kneaded my heart with passion; so her water

    is from my tears, and her flour from her waist.
