لا تَتَّقيني الشولُ بِالفَحلِ دونها

وَلا يَأخُذ الأَرماحَ لي ما أُطاردُ

She does not wear the leg chain but with her stallion by her

Nor take I spears when she pursues me with glance and goad.

تقلّبُ عَينَيها وَتَنظُرُ فَوقَها

وَأَنقاءُ ساقيْها قسومٌ بدائِدُ

Restless are her glances and she looks above her,

While her smooth legs are like Indian blades, bare and sharp.
