1. ما تسرع الألحاظ تخطف ورده

    من خده الاعثرن بخالهِ

    Glances never hasten to snatch his rose

    From his cheek without stumbling over his beauty mark.

  2. مذ نقبوه وزرفنوا أصداغه

    ختموا بغالية على أقفاله

    Since they veiled him and fitted his temple-locks with hasps,

    They have sealed his locks with ghāliyah perfume.
