1. لِي سَيِّدٌ أَجفانُهُ

    قسَمَت عَلى الأَجسامِ سُقما

    I have a master whose eyelids

    Have apportioned sickness among bodies.

  2. وأَغارُ أَن أَبدو بِهِ

    بَينَ الوَرى إِلا مُعَمَّى

    And I am too jealous to reveal him

    Among humankind, except in a riddle.

  3. من حاجِبَيهِ ومُقلَتَيهِ

    وزَهرِ خَدَّيهِ تَسَمَّا

    From his two eyebrows and his two eyes,

    And the bloom of his cheeks, he took his name.
