1. Does the full moon lend its face to insult and blame
Eyes that stare and branches of gardens held erect
١. أَمُعيرَ بدرِ التِّمِّ وجها والظِّبا
حَدَقا وأغصانِ الرياضِ قُدودا
2. Scattering musk and smiles of anemones
Wine's spittle and cheeks the color of blood-red anemones
٢. والمِسْكِ نَشْرا والأَقاحِ تَبسُّما
والخمرِ ريقا والشَّقيقِ خدودا
3. Gently, for she whose glances have captured his heart
The slain of the sword of a glance, no remedy can mend
٣. رِفْقا بمن أَسرتْ لحاظُك قلبَه
فقتيلُ سيفِ اللحظ من لا يُودَى
