And these front teeth left no lover
With folds that left no lover free from blame
who did not defy, for love of them, whoever reproached him.
In worshipping her beauty - who would chide
كمhow often بِتُّI spent the night أَرْعَىI watch فيin لمَىdusky lip-color ثَغْرِهاher mouth

وَشِيمَةُ العاشِق رَعْيُ النُّجومْ
How often I spent the night gazing into the dusk of her mouth;
The nights I spent pasturing on her lips
and a lover's wont is to watch the stars.
When it's the lover's wont to graze the stars?
