1. رشأ في هواهُ أمسى بخيلا

    باذل المال دُونهُ والحياة

    A young gazelle, whose love has made a miser

    Of one who gives wealth and life for his sake.

  2. ولعٌ بالزُّيوت يكتالُ منها

    كلّ يوم ويلي من الزّيّات

    Fond of oils, he takes his measure of them

    Every day—woe to me from the oil seller!
