قَبَّلتُها مِن بَعيدٍ فَاِنثَنَت غَضَباً

وَقَد تَبَيَّنَ فيها التيهُ وَالخَجَلُ

I kissed her from afar, so she bent back in anger

It was clear in her the bewilderment and shyness

وَمَسَّحَت خَدَّها مِن قُبلَتي وَمَشَت

كَأَنَّها ثَمِلٌ أَو مَسَّها خَبَلُ

She wiped her cheek from my kiss and walked away

As if she was drunk or touched by madness
