1. بِروحي ثَناياهُ وَحسن اِنتِظامِها

    عَلى أَنّها صَفّانِ فَوقِيٌّ وَتَحتاني

    My soul as ransom for his front teeth and their lovely alignment,

    though they form two rows, an upper and a lower;

  2. فَعقدانِ مِن دُرٍّ ثَمينٍ تَنَظَّما

    بِسلكٍ مِنَ الياقوتِ أَو سِلكِ عِقيانِ

    thus, two necklaces of precious pearls, both strung

    on a thread of ruby or a thread of pure gold.
