1. قامَت فَثَنَت أَعنَّتي بِالحَرَدِ

    تَختار عَلى النَوى لُزومَ البَلَدِ

    She rose, then turned back my reins in anger,

    choosing to remain in the town rather than part.

  2. غَلَّضتُ لَها اليَمينَ لا أَتركها

    ما ساعَدَني اليَسارُ واِمتَدَّ يَدي

    I solemnly swore to her that I would not leave her,

    as long as prosperity aided me and my hand could reach.
