1. بروحي بهيُّ الوجنتين شهيها

    مرُوعٌ لإقبال العذار صبور

    I would ransom with my soul the one whose cheeks are radiant and delectable,

    Alarmed at the coming of cheek-down, yet patient.

  2. يخافُ حواليها عوارض تلتقي

    ويعلمُ أنَّ الدائرات تدور

    He fears side-whiskers meeting all around them,

    And knows that the circles of misfortune turn.
