1. أَلا صِلْني وَأَنتَ بِلا عِذارٍ

    فَوَجهُك حُسنُهُ يَأبى العِذارا

    Come, be with me while your cheeks are free of down;

    for your face's beauty rejects cheek-down.

  2. إِذا صارَ العِذارُ لَهُ جَناحاً

    فَلا عَجبٌ إِذا ما الحُسنُ طارا

    If cheek-down becomes a wing for it,

    then no wonder if beauty flies away.
