1. ولو كان ما بي من رشا ابن أربع

    وعشر ومن غراء ذات نهود

    And were what ails me from a gazelle aged four

    And ten, and from a radiant, full-breasted beauty,

  2. عذرت ولكني اري كل ليلة

    حليف صدود من حليق خدود

    I would be excused; but every night I see

    A sworn ally of disdain, one of the shaven-cheeked.
