1. لِوَجدِيَ جِنسٌ نَوعُهُ فَصلُ عَدَّتي

    وَمِنهُ خُصوصي لَيسَ فيهِ عُمومُ

    My longing has a genus whose species is the defining distinction of my resources.

    And from it comes my particularity, in which there is no universality.

  2. لِذا في الهَوى العُذرِيِّ لَم أَلقَ عاذِرا

    وَكُلُّ لِئيمٍ لي عَلَيهِ يَلومُ

    Thus, in chaste ʿUdhrī love, I found no one to excuse me.

    And every base man blames me for it.
