1. قَد حَيَّرَنا خَدُّكِ يا أَسماءُ

    لَمَّا امتَزَجَ الخَمرُ بِهِ والَماءُ

    Your cheek has bewildered us, O Asma,

    When wine and water mingled in it.

  2. لَو لَم يَكُ من شَقائِقِ النُّعمانِ

    ما كانَ عَلَيهِ نُقطَةٌ سَوداءُ

    Were it not one of the anemones,

    It would not bear a black dot.
