1. أَرْخَتْ ذَوائِبها تَموجُ وَراءَها

    لِلأرضِ إِعجاباً عَلى أَترابِها

    She let down her tresses, rippling behind her,

    Down to the ground, in pride over her peers.

  2. فَاِحفَظ حَشاكَ مِنَ الذَّوائِبِ إِنَّها

    لأَراقِمٌ وَقَفت على أَذنابِها

    So guard your heart against the tresses, for they

    Are indeed serpents standing on their tails.
