1. جَعْسوسُكُمْ حسَنٌ لوْلا شَميمُ أذىً

    يشْوِي الأنوفَ وداءٌ في الفُؤادِ دَوِي

    Your wretch is handsome, were it not for a noxious smell

    That scorches the nostrils, and a grievous sickness in the heart.

  2. مُعَمَّمٌ فوْقَ طولٍ مُفْرِطٍ وضَنىً

    كَما يعمِّمُ رأسَ الدِّيسَةِ القِنَوي

    Turbaned atop an excessively tall, emaciated frame,

    As al-Qinawī wraps a turban around the head of the diss grass.
