Sol 6.1

  1. لَعوبُ بِأَلبابِ الرِجالِ كَأَنَّها

    إِذا أَسفَرَت بَدرٌ بَدا في المَحاشِدِ

    She toys with men's minds, as though she were

    a full moon appearing amid the throngs when she unveils.

  2. شَكَت سَقَماً كَيما تُعادُ وَما بِها

    سِوى فَترَةِ العَينَينِ سُقمٌ لِعائِدِ

    She complained of illness so she might be visited, yet she has no

    illness a visitor could find save the languor of her eyes.

  3. مِنَ البيضِ لا تَلقاكَ إِلّا مَصونَةً

    وَتَمشي كَغُصنِ البانِ بَينَ الوَلائِدِ

    One of the fair-skinned, she never meets you unguarded,

    and walks like a ban-tree bough among the maidens.

  4. كَأَنَّ الثُرَيّا حَينَ لاحَت عَشِيَّةً

    عَلى نَحرِها مَنظومَةٌ في القَلائِدِ

    As though the Pleiades, when they shone at dusk,

    were strung in necklaces upon her breast.

  5. مُنَعَّمَةُ الأَطرافِ خَودٌ كَأَنَّها

    هِلالٌ عَلى غُصنٍ مِنَ البانِ مائِدِ

    Delicate-limbed, a tender maiden, as though she were

    a crescent moon upon a swaying bough of the ban tree.

  6. حَوى كُلَّ حُسنٍ في الكَواعِبِ شَخصُها

    فَلَيسَ بِها إِلّا عُيوبُ الحَواسِدِ

    Her form holds every beauty found in full-breasted maidens;

    so she has no faults except those envious women allege.
