1. خجل الحبيب وقد حسرت لثامَه

    فجعلتُ من قُبَلي عليه لِثَامَا

    The beloved blushed when I drew aside his veil;

    So I made my kisses a veil upon him.

  2. وجوابُ عَذْلِ العاذلين إِذا طَغَوْا

    في العَذْل جَهلاً أَن أَقولَ سَلاما

    And the answer to the faultfinders’ reproach, when they go too far

    In ignorant reproach, is for me to say, “Peace.”
