1. قالتْ لقدْ أحزنني عقدُهُ

    وحلُّهُ عن ذلكَ الشغلِ

    She said, “His binding has indeed saddened me,

    and so has his release from that work.”

  2. فقلتُ يا طولَ سروري به

    قدْ صارَ أهلَ العقدِ والحلِّ

    So I said, “Oh, how enduring my joy in him!

    He has become one of those who bind and loose.”
