إذا تحقق عند الواله العاني
It is as though his mole above his smiling mouth,
As if his cheek had been kissed from above,
when clearly discerned by the lovesick captive,
when he obtained what he desired from his beloved.

were a thief who came while the night's darkness was dense,
A thief came in the deep darkness of night
to steal pearls from a chest of coral.
to steal the pearl from the oyster's box.
