1. أَفديهِ مَعسول الرضاب قَدِ اِكتَسى

    حللَ النَعيم فَطابَ فيهِ شَقائي

    I would ransom him, whose saliva is honeyed; he has donned

    the robes of bliss, so my suffering for him has grown sweet.

  2. ذو مُقلة زَرقاء سحر جُفونِها

    يَدَع الحَليم يَهيم بِالسَوداءِ

    His eye is blue; the magic of its eyelids

    leaves the levelheaded delirious with black melancholy.
