1. بتونس ظبيٌ كالغزالة وجههُ

    رماني بلحظ للقلوب مُسدّدُ

    In Tunis is a gazelle whose face is like the sun.

    He shot me with a glance aimed straight at hearts.

  2. عمامتهُ خضرا كروض مودّتي

    ومُقلتهُ سودا كقلب مُحمّد

    His turban is green, like the garden of my affection.

    And his eye is black, like Muhammad's heart.
