1. ما أَحسَنَ قَولَها غُداةَ الجَذبِ

    عامِلنيَ بِالنَقدِ صَحيح الضَربِ

    How fine her words on the morning of enticement:

    “Deal with me in cash, soundly minted;

  2. بِالصامِت لا الناطِقَة اِستَدعِ أُجِب

    بِالرابِح ذي العيار جُد لا القَلبِ

    Summon me with silent coin, not a speaking tongue, and I will answer;

    Give generously in gainful coin of proper fineness, not counterfeit.”
