1. عَليمٌ بِما تَحتَ الصُدورِ مِنَ الهَوى

    سَريعٌ بِكَرِّ اللَحظِ وَالقَلبُ جازِعُ

    He knows the passion that lies beneath the breasts;

    swift in the assault of his glance, while the heart is afraid.

  2. وَيَجرَحُ أَحشائي بِعَينٍ مَريضَةٍ

    كَما لانَ مَتنُ السَيفِ وَالسَيفُ قاطِعُ

    And he wounds my innards with a languid eye,

    as a sword's blade is supple, yet the sword cuts.
