1. وشَادنٌ مِن بَني النَّصَارى

    فِي خَدِّهِ خالٌ وَنونُ

    And a young gazelle from among the Christians,

    On his cheek are a beauty spot and a nūn.

  2. قَد قلتُ هَجراً فقَالَ سِيسِي

    وَقلتُ وصلاً فقَالَ نُونُو

    I said, “Parting,” and he said, “Yes, yes.”

    And I said, “Union,” and he said, “No, no.”
