1. With apologies the beauty etched with his musk
A cheek stained with the blood of hearts
١. وَمُعَذَّرٍ نَقشَ الجمالُ بمِسْكِهِ
خَدّاً لَهُ بِدَمِ القُلُوب مُضَرَّجا
2. When he was certain that the sword of his eyelids
Was narcissus - he made violets breathless
٢. لَمَّا تَيَقَّنَ أَنَّ سَيْفَ جُفُونِهِ
مِنْ نَرْجِسٍ جَعلَ النِّجادَ بَنَفْسجا
