وَخُضرٌ يَجمَعُ الأَعجازُ مِنها

وَخُضرٌ يَجمَعُ الأَعجازُ مِنها

مَناطِقُ مِثلَ أَطواقِ الحَمامِ

مَناطِقُ مِثلَ أَطواقِ الحَمامِ

And green ones, their lower forms gathered in

And green ones, whose lower ends are gathered

Green sashes her slender waist,

by bands like the collars of doves;

by girdles like the neck-rings of doves.

Like bands on a dove so chaste,

لَها حُسنُ العَوارِضِ حينَ تَبدو

لَها حُسنُ العَوارِضِ حينَ تَبدو

وَفيها لينُ أَعطافِ الغُلامِ

وَفيها لينُ أَعطافِ الغُلامِ

they have the beauty of cheeks when revealed,

They have the beauty of teeth when revealed,

With the charm of a fawn's soft grace

and the supple grace of a young man’s limbs.

and in them is the suppleness of a youth's flanks.

And a youth's gentle embrace.
