1. They compared you to a branch of ebony when they described,
They have no fault, for they did not know,
١. قاسوك بغصن البان لما وصفوا
لا ذنب لهم لأنهم ما عرفوا
2. Grant that you have features from it that appeared,
From where does ebony have this splendor?
٢. هب أنّ له ملامحاً منك بدت
من أين لخيوط البان هذا الهيفُ
