1. دَعَوتُ إِلَهي دَعوَةً ما جَهِلتَها

    وَرَبّي بِما تَخفى الصُدورُ بَصيرُ

    I called upon my God with a prayer you were not unaware of;

    And my Lord sees what breasts conceal.

  2. لَإِن كانَ يُهدى بَردَ أَنيابِها العُلا

    لِأَفقَرَ مِنّي إِنَّني لَفَقيرُ

    If the coolness of her upper teeth is bestowed

    On someone poorer than I, then I am poor indeed.

  3. فَقَد شاعَتِ الأَخبارُ أَن قَد تَزَوَّجَت

    فَهَل يَأتِيَنّي بِالطَلاقِ بَشيرُ

    For news has spread that she has married;

    So will a bearer of glad tidings come to me with news of divorce?
