بِفَناءِ مَكَّةَ لِلحَجيجِ مَواسِمٌ

وَالياسِريَّةُ مَوسِمُ العُشّاقِ

In Mecca's courtyard, pilgrims have seasons

And Al-Yasiriyyah is lovers' season

ما زِلتُ أَنتَقِدُ الوُجوهَ بِنَظرَتي

نَقدَ الصَيارِفِ جَيِّدَ الأَوراقِ

I have not stopped critiquing faces with my gaze

Like money changers appraise quality banknotes
