1. بَكَت أَسَفاً وَقَد زَمّوا المَطايا

    وَزُرِّرَتِ الهَوادِجُ وَالقِبابُ

    She wept in sorrow as they had already bridled the riding camels,

    And the howdahs and domed canopies were fastened shut.

  2. فَلَم أَرَ قَبلَ وَجنَتِها خَلوقاً

    يَسيلُ عَلَيهِ كافورٌ مُذابُ

    So never before her cheek had I seen saffron perfume

    With melted camphor flowing over it.
