A child in whom beauty innovated perfection

طفل تفنن فيه الحسن مبتدعا

1. A child in whom beauty innovated perfection
Eyes could barely resist snatching glances of him

١. طِفلٌ تَفنَّنَ فيه الحُسْنُ مُبتدِعا
تكاد من طَرْفِه الأبصارُ تَخْتطفُهْ

2. A sapling grew, upon it a moon-like branch
Stalks sway in the soft morning breeze

٢. حِقْفٌ نما فيه غصنٌ فوقَه قمر
يخطو فيَثْنيه من لينِ الصِّبا هَيَفُه

3. When he intercedes, pride itself humbles before his nobility
In his charm, his aloofness has bequeathed me his rejection

٣. إذا تَشفَّع ذُلِّى عند عِزَّتِه
في عَطْفِه ورثى لي رَدَّه صَلَفُه
