1. إِستَقبَلَت وَرَقَ الرَيحانِ تَقطِفُهُ

    وَعَنبَرَ الهِندِ وَالوَردِيَّةَ الجُدُدا

    She turned to the basil leaves, plucking them,

    and to Indian ambergris and the new rose-colored garments.

  2. أَلَستَ تَعرِفُني في الحَيِّ جارِيَةً

    وَلَم أَخُنكَ وَلَم تَمدُد إِلَيَّ يَدا

    Do you not know me as a young woman in the tribe?

    And I have not betrayed you, nor have you stretched a hand toward me.
