1. قالت وقد ضربت بِهِ وَتَبَسَّمت

    متِّع سَماعَك او لِحاظَك بالدُرَر

    She said, having played it and smiled,

    “Delight your hearing or your gaze with pearls.”

  2. فأجبتُ هل نظَّمتِ ثغرَكِ منهُ أَم

    نظَّمتِ درَّ الثغر في سِمط الوَتَر

    So I answered, “Did you string your mouth with pearls from it, or

    String the mouth’s pearls into the necklace of the string?”
