1. قالوا تَعَدَّيتَ الحُدودَ بِنَظرَةٍ

    قَد خَمَشَت وَردَ الخُدودِ النادي

    They said, “You overstepped the bounds with a glance

    That scratched the dewy roses of the cheeks.”

  2. قُلتُ اِنظُر قَلبي وَوَقِّع لِحاظَهُ

    وَتَحَقَّقوا مَن كانَ مِنّا البادي

    I said, “Look at my heart and the impact of his glances,

    And ascertain which of us was the first to begin.”
