1. لَنا سَكَنٌ لَم يَسكُنِ الشِعرُ خَدَّهُ

    يَهُزُّ فُؤادي كُلَّما هَزَّ قَدَّهُ

    Ours is a beloved on whose cheek no hair has settled.

    He stirs my heart whenever he sways his frame.

  2. هُوَ الظُبى إِلّا أَنَّهُ كُلُّ ضَيغَمٍ

    إِذا ما رَآهُ وَدَّ لَو كانَ عَبدَهُ

    He is a gazelle, yet every lion,

    Upon seeing him, wishes he were his slave.
