1. سهرتُ على لثم الشّقيقين بخدّه

    ورشف رُضاب لم أزل منهُ في سُكر

    I stayed awake kissing the two anemones on his cheek,

    And sipping sweet saliva that has kept me ever intoxicated.

  2. ولستُ أخافُ السّحر من لحظاته

    لأنّي بموسى قد أمنتُ من السّحر

    And I do not fear the sorcery of his glances,

    For through Moses I have found safety from sorcery.
