Sol 6.1

  1. قلت لما ان بدأ في خده

    زرد العارض نبتا وانتضد

    I said, when upon his cheek there began to appear

    the beard’s chain mail, sprouting and arrayed in rows:

  2. انبات لاح في خديك أم

    نسج الريح على الماء زرد

    “Is it growth that has appeared on your cheeks, or

    has the wind woven chain mail upon the water?”
