1. لَبِسَت مُصَندَلةَ الثِّيابِ فَمن رأى

    قمراً تَسربَلَ بعدَها أثوابا

    She wore sandalwood-scented garments—so who has seen

    a moon clothe itself in robes after her?

  2. وحَكَت من الرَّشإ الرَّبيبِ ثلاثةً

    عيْناً وجِيداً مُفتِناً وإهابا

    And she mirrored three features of the hand-reared gazelle fawn:

    an eye, a bewitching neck, and skin.
