1. بَنَفسَجُ عارِضِهِ يَنثَني

    إِلى حُمرَةِ الوَردِ مِن وَجنَتَيهِ

    The violet of his cheek inclines

    toward the rose-red of his two cheeks.

  2. فَيَجعَلُ قَلبِيَ في كَفِّهِ

    يَسيءُ إِلَيهِ وَيَعدو عَلَيهِ

    So he places my heart in his palm,

    mistreating it and assailing it.
