1. طرا طارئ عند العشاء فجئته

    بقرص غضيض من شواء ابن زنبور

    An unexpected guest arrived at supper, so I came to him

    with a tender round cake of Ibn Zunbur’s roast.

  2. تخال قطاع المسك رصع رصفها

    بفيروزج النعناع في صحن كافور

    You would take it for pieces of musk, their array inlaid

    with the turquoise of mint in a dish of camphor.
