“الجميلات هُنَّ الجميلاتُ
[نَقْشُ الكمنجات في الخاصرةْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ الضعيفاتُ
[عرشٌ طفيفٌ بلا ذاكرةْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ القويّاتُ
[يأسٌ يضيء ولا يحترقْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ الأميرات
[رَبَّاتُ وحيِ قَلِقْ]
الجميلاتُ هُنَّ القريباتُ
[جاراتُ قوس قُزَحْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ البعيداتُ
[مثل أغاني الفرحْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ الفقيراتُ
[كالورد في ساحة المعركةْ]
الجميلاتُ هُنَّ الوحيداتُ
[مثل الوصيفات في حضرة الملكةْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ الطويلاتُ
[خالات نخل السماءْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ القصيراتُ
[يُشرَبْنَ في كأس ماءْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ الكبيراتُ
[مانجو مُقَشَّرَةٌ ونبيذٌ مُعَتَّقْ]
الجميلات هُنَّ الصغيراتُ
[وَعْدُ غدٍ وبراعمُ زنبقْ]
الجميلاتُ، كلّْ الجميلاتُ، أنتِ
إذا ما اجْتَمَعْنَ ليخْتَرْنَ لي أَنبلَ القاتلات!”
