1. لَهْفِي على الظًّبيْ الّذِي

    تُدْمِي سوالِفَه القُبَلْ

    How I long for the gazelle whose

    neck is made to bleed by kisses!

  2. تَحْكي عذوبةُ رِيقهِ

    خَمْراً تُعَلُّ بماءِ طَلّ

    The sweetness of his saliva resembles

    wine diluted with dew-water.

  3. حَلَفَ الهوَى لا يَنْتهِي

    حَتَّى يُصَيِّرنِي مَثَلْ

    Love has sworn it will not cease

    until it makes me a byword.
