They will tell me tomorrow: “A maiden has grieved you.”
They say tomorrow your cheeks will be bought
So take four fair-skinned women after her, if you wish.
So take after it, if you wish, four eggs

And my palm has not sufficed since she revealed her fingertips,
And what can satisfy my palms since their fingers appeared
even if I placed in it a finger of pure jewel [“placed” assumes a typo in the Arabic].
Even if I put in them the essence of purity a finger
