1. بَدا في سَماءِ الحُسنِ خالٌ بِوَجهِهِ

    يَلوحُ بِأُفقِ الخَدِّ كَالكَوكَبِ الدُرِّي

    A beauty mark appeared on his face in beauty's sky,

    Gleaming on the cheek's horizon like a pearl-bright star.

  2. أَضاءَت عَلَيهِ طُرّةُ الصُبحِ فَاِختَفى

    بِها الكَوكَبُ الوَضّاحُ في غُرّةِ الفَجرِ

    Morning's forelock shone upon it; then vanished

    In its radiance the brilliant star in dawn's bright brow.
