1. وعلويُّ الجمالِ إذا تبدى

    أراك جبينُهُ بدراً أنارا

    And one of heavenly beauty—when he appears,

    his brow shows you a shining full moon.

  2. أشار بسَوسَنٍ يحكيهِ عَرفاً

    ويحكي لونَ عاشِقِه اصفرارا

    He gestured with an iris that resembles him in fragrance,

    and resembles his lover’s complexion in yellowness.
