1. Her hand holds water as she extends her fingers
When she shook my hand, fire blazed in fervor
١. لَها مِنَ الماءِ كَفٌّ في أَنامِلِها
إِذْ صافَحَتْني بِهِ نارٌ عَلَى وَهَجِ
2. Her dazzling beauty almost conceals it
As if she adorned it with blood from her wrists
٢. تَكادُ مِنْ لَمَعانِ الحُسْنِ تَسْتُرُهُ
كأنَّما طَرَّفَتْهُ مِنْ دَمِ المُهَجِ
