1. بالله بِسحر مُقلَتِكَ النَّشوَى

    وهُوَ القَسَمُ البَرُّ العظيمُ الَفتوَى

    By God, by the magic of your intoxicated eye—

    And it is the righteous oath, mighty in its ruling—

  2. لا تَسمع عنِّي قولَ مَن قالَ سلا

    في ثَغرِكَ مِن أينَ منهُ السَّلوى

    Do not heed anyone who says of me, 'He has forgotten';

    As for your mouth—how could forgetfulness come from it?
