1. لا تزدري يا عاذلي بمهفهفٍ

    قد جاءً يبدل شينهُ بالسينِ

    Do not scoff, O my reproacher, at a slender-waisted youth,

    who has come to replace his shīn with sīn.

  2. لما غدا من كل شينٍ حسنهُ

    متبرئا فأمات حرف الشينِ

    When his beauty became, of every blemish,

    free, he put the letter shīn to death.
