1. لِلَّهِ مُنَعَّمٌ يُضاهي البانا

    مِن ماءِ شَبابه يُرى نشوانا

    How wondrous a pampered youth who rivals the bān tree!

    He seems drunk on the sap of his youth.

  2. كالغُصنِ شِطاطُه المُفَدّى لَكِن

    ذا مُكتَسياً راقَ وَذا عَريانا

    His cherished, slender stature is like a branch, yet

    One charms when clothed, the other when naked.
