1. وَكَلِيلَةِ الأجْفَانِ عَرْبَدَ طَرْفُهَا

    بِصَوَارِمٍ فَرَتِ الحَشَا فِي غِمْدِهَا

    And a languid-eyed woman—her gaze ran riot

    With keen swords that tore the heart while still in their sheath.

  2. نَاديتُ مَا بَالُ الكَلِيلَةِ جَاوَزَتْ

    فِي الحَدّ قَالَتْ قد أُمِرْتَ بِحَدَهَا

    I cried, “Why has the languid-eyed one gone too far

    In sharpness?” She said, “You have been commanded to punish her.”
