1. في الشَمسِ يَروم عاذِلي مصباحا

    يَكفينيَ ما شاهده الإِفصاحا

    In the sunlight, my reproacher seeks a lamp.

    What he has seen spares me the need to speak plainly.

  2. في عذريَ يستزيدني الإِيضاحا

    وَالصُبحَ يَرى وَوَجهَها وَالراحا

    He asks me for greater clarity in my excuse,

    Though he sees the dawn, her face, and the wine.
