يقولون غدا لي شَجَتْكَ خَريدةٌ

فَخُذْ بَعْدَها إن شئتَ مِ البيضِ أرْبَعا

They say tomorrow your cheeks will be bought

So take after it, if you wish, four eggs

وما يَكْفي كَفّي مذ أبانَتْ بنانَها

ولو ضعتُ فيها جوهرَ المَحْضِ اصبعا

And what can satisfy my palms since their fingers appeared

Even if I put in them the essence of purity a finger
