1. علامة الخزي على وجهه

    عذاره المنصبّ في خدّه

    The mark of disgrace upon his face:

    His side-whiskers streaming down his cheek.

  2. دبّ نبات الشعر في خده

    وصدّ عنه مشتكي صدّه

    Hair growth crept across his cheek,

    And the one who lamented his rejection turned away from him.

  3. تاه علينا بنقا خدّه

    دهرٌ فتهنا بعد مسوده

    He was haughty toward us over his smooth cheek

    For a time; then we grew haughty after it darkened.

  4. فصار يشتاق إلى وصلنا

    ونحن نشتاق إلى بعده

    So he began to long for union with us,

    While we long for distance from him.
