1. مررتُ عليها والخضابُ لمائه

    وبيضٌ وريح المسك قد كادَ يسطع

    I passed by her, with the dye [“for its water”—unclear in the source],

    and eggs, while the scent of musk was almost wafting forth.

  2. فقالتْ مليحٌ ما أرى غير أنه

    سحابةُ صيف عن قليلٍ تقشّع

    She said, “Lovely is what I see, except that it is

    a summer cloud that will soon disperse.”
