1. إِنّني قَد شَريت ثَوبَ حَرير

    فيهِ رِبحٌ لَو بِعتهُ أَيُّ ربحِ

    Indeed, I have bought a garment of silk.

    There is profit in it, were I to sell it—what a profit!

  2. بِعتُهُ لِلحَبيبِ مَع كَونِهِ لي

    طَرفاه حلّ بِحبّة مِلحِ

    I sold it to the beloved, though for me

    Its two edges were lawful—for a grain of salt.
