1. Her gesture with her right forefinger on her lips' ruby seal -
how unforgettable! No forgetfulness equals it.
١. فَمَا أَنْسَهُ لاَ أَنْسَ مِنْهَا إِشَارَةً
بِسَبَّابَةِ اليُمْنَى عَلَى خَاتَمِ الفَمِ
2. I complained to her and she signaled to me,
wary of spies, that I should not speak.
٢. وَأَعْلَنْتُ بِالشَّكْوَى إِلَيْهَا فَأَوْمَأَتْ
حَذَارَاً مِنَ الوَاشِيْنَ أَنْ لاَ تَكَلَّمِ
3. I have never seen a form fallen upon a form
like a grape cluster leaning over a wine vat.
٣. فَلَمْ أَرَ شَكْلاً وَاقِعَاً فَوْقَ شَكْلِهِ
كَعُنَّابَةٍ تُومِي بِهَا فَوْقَ عَنْدَمِ
