1. غاب عذولي وأتى لاحيا

    يبغي استماعي قوله بغته

    My reproacher went away, then returned scolding,

    Seeking to have me hear his words without warning.

  2. فلم يكن عندي له لفتة

    والله لا قصدا ولا لفته

    Yet I gave him not a glance—

    By God, neither deliberately nor inadvertently.
