1. لئن أَذْلَلْتَ خَدَّكَ وهْو ليلٌ

    فلِمْ أَعززتَ وجهك وهْو صبحُ

    If indeed you humbled your cheek while it was night,

    then why did you exalt your face while it was dawn?

  2. وكانت مسْحَةٌ للحسن فيه

    فصار من العِذار عليه مَسحُ

    There was a touch of beauty in it,

    but the cheek-down came to wipe it away.
