1. أَصداغُك شَدَّتني بالأَوهاقِ

    لا يَخرُجُ عَن ربقَتِها أَعناقي

    Your sidelocks have bound me with nooses.

    My necks cannot escape their halter.

  2. في حَلقَتِها ضاقَ مَجالُ الأَيدي

    مِمّا اِزدحمت أَفئِدَةُ العشّاقِ

    Within their loop, the room for hands has narrowed,

    because the lovers’ hearts have crowded together.
