1. يا حُسنَهُ لمّا تثنّى واِنحنى

    كَمسلّمٍ أَهدى السلامَ لمجمعِ

    How lovely he was when he swayed and bowed,

    like a greeter offering peace to an assembly.

  2. أَهدى السلامَ لزائرٍ تلكَ الحشا

    وَغَدا يشي فيه العذولُ لمسمعِ

    He offered peace to one visiting that heart,

    and the reproacher began speaking ill of him to a listening ear.
