1. قالوا الّذي ألحاظُهُ قد غدت

    ساحرة عقلك يا شاعرُ

    They said, “The one whose glances have now become

    bewitchers of your mind, O poet,

  2. لم يُفلح البارح مع عرسه

    قُلتُ لهم لا يُفلح السّاحر

    had no success last night with his bride.”

    I told them, “No sorcerer succeeds.”
