1. إنْ رامَ ردفُكِ قتلي

    فقاتلُ النفسِ يُقتلْ

    “If your rump seeks to kill me,

    then the taker of a life is put to death.”

  2. قالتْ ونعمانُ خدِّي

    ينفي قصاصَ المثقَّلْ

    She said, “And my cheek’s Nuʿmān—its blood-red hue—

    rules out retaliation for killing with a heavy blunt weapon.”
