1. أَصداغك وَالنَفسُ بِها مَربوطَه

    أَلقى زُمَر الهَوى بِها مَغبوطَه

    Your temple-locks—the soul is bound to them.

    I find the throngs of love enviable because of them.

  2. عَن قيدك لَو حلَّ فؤادي قالَت

    ما عَقدُكُمُ مَعي سوى أنشوطَه

    If my heart were freed from your fetter, she would say:

    “Your bond with me is nothing but a slipknot.”
