Between the teeth and knotted cheek

بين البنان وصدغه المعقود

1. Between the teeth and knotted cheek
Are two wines - from a cup and from a cluster

١. بَينَ البَنانِ وَصُدْغِهِ المَعْقُودِ
خَمْرانِ مِن كَأْسٍ وَمِنْ عَنْقُودِ

2. One circulated to us in soft white hands
Luxury, and the other circulated flushed

٢. هذِي تُدارُ لَنا بِأَبْيَضِ ناعِمٍ
تَرِفٍ وَتِلْكَ تُدارُ فِي تَوْريدِ

3. A branch that bent over his waist
So I wondered at the non-existent in the existent

٣. ساقٍ كَأَنَّ جَبِينَهُ فِي شَعْرِهِ
قَمَرٌ تَبَلَّجَ فِي اللَّيالِي السُّودِ

4. Clear pearls of the lips, sweet nectar
Narrow-eyed, wide-browed

٤. غُصْنٌ تَرَنَّحَ رِدْفُهُ فِي خَصْرِهِ
فَعَجِبْتُ لِلْمَعْدومِ فِي المَوْجودِ

5. He sways upon cheek’s yellowness his allure
So much temptation between amorousness and rejecting

٥. وَضَّاحُ دُرِّ الثَّغرِ مَعْسولُ اللَّمَى
مُتَضايِقُ الأَجْفانِ رَحْبُ الجِيدِ

6. Musk sprouted on his cheek's camphor
And musk grows in the dark valleys

٦. يَلْوِي عَلى زَرَدِ العِذارِ دَلالَهُ
كَمْ فِتْنَةٍ بَيْنَ اللِّوَى وَزَرودِ

7. In his eyelids for his lover and enemy
Are two swords of glance and hardened steel

٧. نَبَتَتْ عَلى الكَافُورِ مِسْكَةُ خَالِهِ
وَالمِسْكُ يَنْبُتُ فِي الظِّبَاء الغِيدِ

8. One stands over hearts its guide
Cutting, and the other by formality

٨. فِي جَفْنِهِ لِمُحِبِّهِ وَعَدُوِّهِ
سِيْفانِ مِن لَحْظٍ وَحَدِّ حَدِيدِ

9. Beware of the Turks, for some of them
Have the bodies of gazelles and deeds of lions

٩. هذا يَقُومُ عَلى القُلُوبِ دَليلُهُ
قَطْعاً وَذاكَ السَّيْفُ بِالتَّقْلِيدِ

10. Their bodies like water except
They carried hearts of solid ice

١٠. إيَّاكَ وَالأتْراكَ إنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمْ
أَشْخاصَ غُزْلانٍ وَفِعْلَ أُسُودِ

11. They inherited the sick body and tortured
Our eyelids with tears and sighs

١١. أَجْسامُهُمْ كَالمَاءِ إلاَّ أَنَّها
حَمَلَتْ قُلُوباً مِن صَفَا الجُلْمُودِ

12. I shepherd the stars with my hook, so it's as if
I'm tasked with enumerating and counting

١٢. هُمْ أَوْرَثوا الجِسْمَ السَّقامَ وَعَذَّبُوا
أَجْفانَنا بِالدَّمْعِ وَالتَّسْهِيدِ

١٣. أَرْعَى الكواكِبَ مُعْوِلاً فَكَأنَّني
وُكِّلْتُ بِالتَّعْدادِ وَالتَّعْديدِ
