1. With the freshness of one just weaned, as though
Molded of white pearl.

2. Glory to Him who kindled by his cheek's surface
A fire whose fuel is in the water.

3. And illuminated the glow of his forehead, shining
In a night of his hair, dark and black.

4. He would put to shame the like of perfect moons, adorned
Beneath a red carnelian.

5. The narrowed glances make fun of her sorcery
And her languor with the soft dark eyes.

6. As if his clothes in their motions
Are rays upon a brown bow.

7. Never have I seen or heard the like of her,
A star from which a full moon is born.
