1. بِالروحِ فَدَيتُ باخِلاً بالطيفِ

    أَودت بي عَينُهُ وَما من حَيفِ

    With spirit I ransomed a miser with apparition

    His eyes wanted me yet caused no injustice

  2. كَم قُلتُ وَدون لَحظِهِ وَجنَتُه

    بالجَنّة فُز تَحتَ ظِلالِ السَيفِ

    How often I said, below his gaze I picked his paradise

    In heaven I won, under the shadows of the sword
