1. بأبي غزالاً جال في وجناته

    ماء النعيم ولونه متعندم

    My father be ransom for a gazelle, in whose cheeks flows

    the water of bliss, and whose hue is crimson.

  2. لا غَرْوَ أن أهوى بوجنته إلى

    زهر الشقيق فطالما حنّ لدم

    No wonder he lowered his cheek toward

    the anemone's bloom, for he has often yearned for blood.
