1. عليَّ حلالٌ ثغرُه وعِذارُه

    حرامٌ بما قد كان تحتَ نِطاقِهِ

    His mouth and cheek-down are lawful to me,

    yet forbidden because of what was beneath his girdle.

  2. فؤادي يُباري الطيرَ في خَطواتِه

    إليه ولو في قيده ووثاقِه

    My heart vies with the birds in its steps

    toward him, even in its fetters and bonds.
