Of exquisite beauty made perfect by its opposite

And the neck to the gazelle

للظبي من جيده سَوالفُهُ

And denies the truth though knowing it

وينكر الحقَّ وهو عارفُهُ

When it comes accompanied by its mates

إذا تهادَت به رَوادفُهُ

Who is consumed by a love none can rival

يُبلى فيهوى من لا يخالفُهُ
