1. غصنٌ رطيب ناعم متأود

    يا حسنه من ناعم يتأوّد

    A fresh, tender branch, swaying gracefully.

    How lovely he is—a tender, swaying one!

  2. ظبي أنيس للجفا متعود

    يا حسنه لولا الجفا يتعود

    A friendly gazelle, accustomed to coldness.

    How lovely he is, but for the coldness he grows used to!

  3. جمع المحاسن بل بها متفرد

    كلا وحق له بها يتفرد

    He has gathered every charm—nay, he is unrivaled in them.

    Nay—and rightly does he stand unrivaled in them.
