1. هو البدر إلا أن فيه بدائعاً

    من الحسن ليست في هلالٍ ولا بدرِ

    He is the full moon, except that within him are marvels

    Of beauty found in neither crescent nor full moon.

  2. وينظر في وجه القبيح بوجهه

    فيكشف حسناً باقياً آخر الدهرِ

    And he looks upon the face of the ugly one with his own face,

    Thus revealing a beauty that lasts until the end of time.
