1. أنا أهوى ذا عذارٍ وجههُ

    قمرٌ من خجلٍ في شفقِ

    I love one with downy cheeks, whose face

    is a moon in the twilight glow of bashfulness.

  2. رقمت ديباجةَ الصبح يدُ

    الحسن فيهش بخيوط الغسق

    Dawn’s brocade was embroidered by the hand

    of beauty; so he beams with threads of dusk.

  3. وسقى وجنتهُ ماء الصّبا

    فبدا الورد خلال الورق

    And the water of youth watered his cheek,

    so the rose appeared among the leaves.
