1. وصدر نجيبة كالبدر أضحت

    تمني النفس بالوعد الطويل

    By Najiba's breast—she has become like the full moon,

    Filling the soul with hopes of a long promise.

  2. أقول ولي خيول الهجر ساقت

    وما وقت خذي فرسي وفي لي

    I say, as the steeds of estrangement have driven me on:

    And there is no time—take my horse and keep your promise to me.
