1. رِفقاً فَشَمائِلُ الغَواني دمثَت

    لا سلوةَ عَن معاطفٍ قَد خبثَت

    Be gentle, for the beauties’ dispositions have softened.

    There is no forgetting curves that have turned wicked.

  2. أَشواقيَ جَدَّ جدُّها تَلعَبُ بي

    إِذ أَيديهنَّ بِالمَلاهي عبثَت

    My longings, grown truly earnest, play with me,

    When their hands toyed with musical instruments.
