1. ومشوبِ الوداد ساغ هواهُ

    في خفيّ الأحشاءِ أيَّ مساغِ

    And one whose affection is tainted—his love went down sweetly

    Into the hidden recesses of the breast—how smoothly!

  2. بلَّغت وحيه الذوائبُ فلبي

    ما على المرسلين غيرُ البلاغ

    His locks conveyed his revelation to my heart;

    The messengers have no duty but to convey.

  3. قمرٌ نورُ وجههِ يكسف الشـ

    ـمس ذا حلَّ عقدة الأصداغ

    A moon whose face's radiance eclipses the su-

    -n when he unties the knot of his temple-locks.
