1. مشروطةٌ خطرتْ ترنّح قامة

    يزري الذّوابلَ لينُها وشِطَاطُها

    A scar-marked beauty sauntered, swaying her figure;

    its suppleness and tallness put slender spears to shame.

  2. قامتْ قيامةُ عاشقيها في الهوى

    لما بدتْ وبدت لَهمْ أَشْراطُها

    Her lovers’ Judgment Day dawned in love,

    when she appeared, and its portents appeared to them.
