1. In an opening like the full moon I saw a youth's face
So I asked, who is this with the radiant forehead?
١. رأيت في طاقةٍ كالبدرِ وجه فتى
فقلت من تحت هذا البانة النضره
2. They said you guessed but did not see his stature
I said I knew the branch by its fruit
٢. قالوا حكمت وما أبصرت قامته
فقلت إني عرفت الغصن بالثمره
