1. أضنى فؤاديَ ظبي الفرس حين رنا

    بمقلة نفثت بالسحر جفناها

    My heart yearned like a horse yearns for a doe when she called out

    With eyelids that breathed magic at dawn

  2. له محيّاً لو انَّ الشمس ترمقه

    لبرقعت خجلاً منه محياها

    If the sun were to rise for him as a greeting

    It would veil its face in shyness before his
