1. في دار شاهينٍ تجلَّت غادَةٌ

    اضحى بها ثغرُ الهنا متبسّما

    In Shahin’s house a graceful maiden appeared;

    through her, the mouth of joy broke into a smile.

  2. لَمّا بدت لمؤَرخيها واِنجلت

    قالوا أَما تُدعى فَقُلتُ لهم أَما

    When she appeared before her chroniclers and stood revealed,

    they said, “Is she not named?” I told them, “Ama.”
