1. White and yellow, not from sickness
It became like layered narcissi
١. أَبْيَضُ وَاصْفَرَّ لاعْتِلالٍ
فَصَارَ كالنَّرْجِسِ المُضَعَّفْ
2. As if his temples and his cheeks
Were wrapped in his sideburns' hair
٢. كأَنَّ نِسْرينَ وَجْنَتَيهِ
بِشَعْرِ أَصْداغِهِ مُغَلَّفْ
3. Water drips from his brow
As if it were halved pearls
٣. يَرْشَحُ مِنْهُ الجَبينُ ماءً
كأَنَّهُ لُؤْلُؤٌ مُنَصَّفْ
