1. صَفَّ صُدغاً كصَدِّهٍ

    فَوقَ خَدٍّ كَوَعدِهِ

    He arranged a sidelock like his rejection

    above a cheek like his promise.

  2. حَسَنُ المُقلَتَينِ قَد

    قَدَّ قَلبي بِقَدِّهِ

    The one with lovely eyes has

    cut my heart with his figure.

  3. مَزَجَت مُقلَتي الدُمو

    عُ دَماً بَعدَ بُعدِهِ

    My eye mingled the tears

    with blood after his departure.

  4. فَاِعتَبِر عَبرَتي تَجِد

    لَونها لَونَ خَدِّهِ

    So examine my tear: you will find

    its color is the color of his cheek.
