1. كأن خديه ديناران قد وزنا

    فحرر الصيرفي الوزن واحتاطا

    His cheeks are like two dinars that have been weighed;

    so the money-changer checked the weight and took due care.

  2. فشح بعضهما عن وزن صاحبه

    فزاده من فتيت المسك قيراطاً

    Then one fell short of the weight of its companion,

    so he added to it a carat of powdered musk.
