1. فتاةٌ جسمُها كالماء رَطبٌ

    ولكن قلبُها كالصخرِ قاسِ

    A maiden whose body is soft as water,

    yet whose heart is hard as stone.

  2. وفت وَهنا فوافت وَصلَ صبٍّ

    سقيمٍ في الغرام بغيرِ آسِ

    She stayed true; both grew faint. Then she came, bringing union to a lover

    sick with passion, with no healer.
