1. لا ترْكَننَّ إلى أخْلاقِ غانيَةٍ

    فالغدْرُ شأنُ الغَواني أيها الرجلُ

    Never trust the character of a beautiful woman;

    for treachery is the way of beautiful women, O man.

  2. بَيْنا تَسُرُّ بوصلٍ نامَ عاذِلُهُ

    مَلَّتْ سُعادُ وبئس الخَلَّةُ الملل

    While she delighted you with a union whose reproacher had fallen asleep,

    Suʿād grew bored—and boredom is a wretched trait.
