1. عَجَبي لِرِقَّةِ وَجهِ كَلَفي بِهِ

    تُبدي أَسِرَّتُهُ لَنا أَسرارُهُ

    I marvel at the delicacy of the face I am enamored of;

    His forehead lines reveal his secrets to us.

  2. وَلِمُهجَتي تُذكى لِبَردِ رِضابِهِ

    وَتَقِرُّ عَيني أَن تُشاهِدَ نارَهُ

    And at my heart, kindled by the coolness of his saliva,

    And my eye, soothed by beholding his fire.
