1. فتناولتُ منه صادقةَ الري

    ح تسمَّى صديقةَ الأرواحِ

    So I took from him one of genuine fragrance,

    called the friend of souls.

  2. وشَّحَتْها يداهُ من خالص التب

    رِ بسطرٍ يجولُ جَولَ الوشاح

    His two hands girdled it with pure gold,

    in a line that circled like a sash.

  3. كُسِيَتْ صبغةَ الملاحةِ لما

    صُبغتْ صبغةَ الخدود الملاح

    It was clothed in the hue of loveliness when

    it was dyed the hue of lovely cheeks.
