1. إيهاً لصائلِ حَلْيها ولِثامها

    هذَا يُعَانقها وذاكَ يُقَبِّلُ

    Enough of the onslaught of her jewelry and veil!

    This one embraces her, and that one kisses her.

  2. ولقد يُجِيشُ الشَّوْقُ راكد عَبْرَتي

    فكأنَّه لَهَبٌ وجَفْني مِرْجَلُ

    And longing indeed sets my still tears boiling,

    So it is like a flame, and my eyelid a cauldron.

  3. نَجْدِيَّةٌ وَافَاك من لحظاتها

    نظرٌ بسفحِ دم القلوبِ موكَّلٌ

    A woman of Najd—from her glances there came to you

    A gaze charged with shedding the blood of hearts.
