1. When the moons of his cheek flash their brilliance
From his face's crescent their light appears
١. وَبَدرُ دُجى شِعرِ مَتى بَرَقَت بِهِ

2. His fairness by it is seen by beholders
And if mind looked upon it, it would elucidate it
٢. صَفاهُ بِهِ يَبدو لِرائيهِ وَصفَهُ
فَلَو جالَ فيهِ الفِكرَ لِلعَينِ جَلّاهُ
3. So no grace but is body to its gracefulness
And the meaning of meanings of all is in all its meaning
٣. فَلا لَطَفَ إِلّا وَهوَ جِسمٌ لِلُطفِهِ
وَمَعنى مَعاني الكُلِّ في الكُلِّ مَعناهُ
