1. How can he be blameless when no blameless man
Was ever free from blame in others' eyes?
١. كَيفَ يَخلو وَما خَلا مِن عَفافٍ
ما خَلَت قَطُّ ريبَةٌ بِعَفيفِ
2. The love of comrades fills his mind instead
With thoughts of clasping scimitars, not thighs.
٢. وَعِتاقُ الأَحبابِ يَشغَلُ عَنهُ
هِمَّةٌ هَمُّها عِناقُ السُيوفِ
