1. وشادِنٍ غَصَّني بريقي

    قَهقَهَ لمَّا رَأى شَهِيقي

    And a gazelle-like youth made me choke on my saliva;

    He laughed aloud when he saw me gasping.

  2. أرادَ في ضِحكِهِ يُريني

    مَنابِتَ الدُّرِّ في العَقِيقِ

    In his laughter, he wanted to show me

    Where pearls sprout within carnelian.
