1. وَضاربِ عودٍ قد أَزاغ عيوننا

    ببرفينٍ من تلك البنانِ وَذي الكفِّ

    And a lute-player has drawn our eyes astray

    with twin snows from those fingertips and this palm.

  2. تنازَعُهُ آذانُنا وعيونُنا

    فَهَذي الى كحلٍ وتلك الى شَنفِ

    Our ears and our eyes vie over him:

    these turn toward kohl, and those toward an earring.
