1. بي أغيدٌ لو بَذَلْتُ نفسي

    في قبلةٍ منهُ لمْ أنلْها

    I am smitten with a graceful youth; were I to offer my life

    For a kiss from him, I would not obtain it.

  2. قلتُ لهُ بينَ عاشقيه

    أتاجرٌ أنتَ قال بالْها

    I said to him among his lovers,

    “Are you a merchant?” He said, “With hāʾ, not tāʾ—a forsaker.”
