1. قَدْ قُلْتُ لِلْخَالِ إذْ عَمَّ الجَمَالُ بِهِ

    كَمْ ضَاعَ مِنْكَ بِرَوْضِ الخدّ وَرْدَاتُ

    I said to the beauty spot, as beauty spread through it:

    "How many roses have been lost because of you in the cheek's garden!"

  2. فَقَالَ لِي الخَالُ يَا هَذَا أليسَ تَرَى

    هَذِي المَنَازِلُ لِي فِيهَا عَلاَمَاتُ

    Then the beauty spot said to me, "You there, do you not see?

    These dwellings—I have marks in them."
