1. جَميلٌ يَميلُ إِلى مِثلِهِ

    فَيَشفَعُ مَرآهُ في وَصلِهِ

    A handsome man inclines toward one like himself;

    His appearance thus pleads for union with him.

  2. رَمى نابِلٌ مِنهُما نابِلاً

    يُناغيهِ وَالنَبلُ مِن نَبلِهِ

    One archer of the two shot at another,

    Wooing him with arrows of his own.

  3. وَيَنظُرُ إِلى جَنبِهِ

    كَما نَظَرَ الظَبيُ مِن ظِلِّهِ

    And he looks to his side,

    As the gazelle looked from its shadow.
