1. راضَ حَبيبي عارِضٌ قَد بَدا

    يا حُسنَهُ مِن عارِضٍ رائضِ

    New down on his cheeks has tamed my beloved.

    How lovely it is—this down that tames!

  2. وَظَنَّ قَومٌ أَنَّ قَلبي سَلا

    وَالأَصلُ لا يَعتَدُّ بِالعارِضِ

    And some people thought my heart had ceased to love,

    yet the essential takes no account of the incidental.
