Like the freshness of youth is the daughter of Aik

وبنت أيك كالشباب النضر

1. Like the freshness of youth is the daughter of Aik
As if she were among the green branches

كأنّها بينَ الغُصُونِ الخُضْرِ

2. A garden of Bas or a garden of Sakr
Left behind by a mighty tribe of Bakr

٢. جَنانُ بازٍ أو جَنانُ صَقْرِ
قد خلّفَتْه لَقْوَةٌ بوَكْر

3. As if blood had flowed from her slaughter
Or she was raised in ashes of embers

٣. كأنّما مجَّتْ دماً منْ نَحرِ
أو نشأتْ في تُرْبةٍ من جمر

If time would stop its course for her

٤. أو رَوِيَتْ بجَدْوَلٍ من خمْرٍ
لو كفَّ عنها الدهرُ صَرْفَ الدهر

Baring teeth like red pearls

٥. جاءتْ بمثل النَّهْدِ فوقَ الصَدرِ
تفترُّ عن مثلِ اللِّثاتِ الحُمر
