ووجهه كالروض بسام
And a graceful youth plunders our souls,
He sings, plundering our souls,
And his face, like a garden, is all smiles.
His face, a fragrant garden,
تنمّreveal خدَّاهhis two cheeks بقتلof the slaying of الورَىhumankind
تنمّ خدَّاه بقتل الورَى
فخدّهso his cheek وردٌa rose ونمَّامand a tale-bearer; also an aromatic herb (wordplay)
فخدّه وردٌ ونمَّام
His cheeks betray his slaying of humankind;
His cheek grows from slaying people,
So his cheek is a rose and a telltale herb.
His cheek, a rose, a leech.
