1. يا كَعبَةَ الحُسنِ الَّتي زارَها

    مُحرِمُها عُريانَ مِن وَصلِ

    O Kaaba of beauty, which was visited

    by her consecrated pilgrim, naked of union.

  2. مَن أَمِنَ العَقرَبَ في الخَدِّ أَن

    يُفتِيَ فينا اللَّثمُ بِالقَتلِ

    Who can be sure, with the scorpion on the cheek, that

    a kiss will not pronounce a death sentence upon us?
