1. كَدَّرَ ما راقَ بِإِسرافِهِ

    وَأَخلَفَ الظَنَّ بِإِخلافِهِ

    He clouded what was clear through his excess,

    and disappointed expectations by breaking his promises.

  2. أَهيَفُ يَستَعطِفُ لَحظَ الفَتى

    إِن كانَ غَضباناً بِأَعطافِهِ

    A slender-waisted one who seeks to soften a young man's gaze,

    if that young man is angry, with the curves of his body.

  3. إِذا التَثَنّي عَصَفَت ريحُهُ

    تَلاطَمَت أَمواجُ أَردافِهِ

    When the wind of his swaying blows fiercely,

    the waves of his buttocks crash against one another.
