1. ما لِلفَتَياتِ اِعتَرَضَت أَشباها

    لِلرقَّةِ وَاللطف تَرى أَمواها

    Why have the maidens appeared, all alike?

    In their delicacy and grace, you see them as water.

  2. يَمرُرنَ بِنا واحِدَةً واحِدَةً

    لا أُبصِر بَينَهُنَّ مَن أَهواها

    They pass us one by one;

    I do not see among them the one I love.
