1. I hunted her like a gazelle with great care
And when she came of age, towards love she did not incline
١. تقنصتها كالظبي جيداً وطالما
غدت لم تعج نحو الحبا والحبائل
2. I shielded her from those who sought her hand
Just as the Pleiades are out of reach
٢. وحجبتها عمن يروم وصالها
وأين الثريا من يد المتناول
