1. وَقائلة ما لي أَرى الظَبي نافِراً

    فَقُلت لَها قَد خافَ وَقع المَكايدِ

    And a woman asked, “Why do I see the gazelle fleeing?”

    So I said to her, “He feared the blow of cunning schemes.

  2. بَدا وَعُيون العاشِقين كَأَنَّها

    عُيون شباك أَحدقت بِالمَصايدِ

    He appeared, and the lovers’ eyes were like

    The eyes of nets encircling the traps.”
