1. قالَ لي عاذلي أتسبيكَ عينٌ

    منهُ سوداءُ قلتُ بلْ إنسانُ

    My critic said to me, "Does a dark-eyed one blame you?"

    I said, "No, but a human."

  2. قال لي فاسألْهُ فقلْتُ اسْلُ عَذْلي

    قالَ لي هِنْتَ قلتُ هانَ الهوانُ

    He said to me, "Then ask him," so I said, "Ask my critic."

    He said to me, "You are disgraced." I said, "Disgrace is dishonor."
