1. قالَت لَدى نَقلِ السّوارِ لِخصرِها

    وَالزّندُ كادَ لِضيقِهِ أَن يُغلِقهْ

    She said, as she moved the bracelet to her waist,

    while her wrist had nearly blocked its opening, so tight it was:

  2. ضاقَ السّوارُ بِمِعصَمي فَنَقَلتُهُ

    وَجَعَلتُهُ مِن ضيقِهِ لي منطقَه

    The bracelet was too tight around my wrist, so I moved it,

    and because of its tightness, made it a girdle for myself.
