1. مُوسَى تَرَفَّق وَلاَ تُضِعنِي

    في الرّق عَبدُكَ بَعضُ مَالِك

    Musa, be gentle, and do not squander me.

    In bondage, your slave is part of your wealth.

  2. إذَا مَزَايَا الجَمَالِ عُدَّت

    لَم يُحسَب البَدرُ من رَجَالِك

    When beauty’s merits are counted,

    the full moon is not reckoned among your men.

  3. لاَ نَالَ مِنكَ الزَّمَانُ حَظَّا

    إلاَّ الذِي نِلتُ مِن وِصَالِك

    May Time gain no share of you

    except what I have gained from union with you.
