1. قالَت وَرأت قَلائِدي كالسِمطِ

    دَع صوغَ حِلِيِّها فَماذا شرطي

    She said, seeing my necklaces like a strand of pearls:

    Leave off fashioning her jewelry—what, then, is my stipulation?

  2. لَو شَارَف أذنَهم عُقودٌ نُظِمَت

    عُلِّقتُ منكَّساً مِثالَ الزَطِّ

    If strung necklaces came near their ears,

    I would be hung upside down like the Zutt.
