Pangasinan Ghazal 46
“How then do I sing the sweetness in her name
with these poor lines, wretched poet as I am?” – Cirilo F. Bautista
awawey mo labat nabasak la

luyag mo la’y intawen mon pasen

takew ira’y bektan laem ed siak
ay panon ikale’y panduaruwa
no kada kuyab ed pagew et luan
onterter ed mayumis mon lupa?

Pangasinan Ghazal 45
“Beneath my hands your small breasts are the bellies of breathing fallen sparrows.” – Leonard Cohen
