1. عَلى رَأسِها الرُمّانُ تَرغَبُ بَيعَهُ

    جُزافاً لِمَن يَشري بِبَضعِهِ أَعشارِ

    Upon her head are pomegranates she wishes to sell,

    In bulk, to whoever buys for a few tenths.

  2. وَفي صَدرِها ثِنتانَ لَو أَنَّها اِرتَضَت

    تَبيعُهُما بِالروحِ كُنتُ أَنا الشاري

    And in her bosom are two—if she consented

    To sell them for my soul, I would be the buyer.
