1. I saw him when the full moon shone
Its light on his embroidered shirt.
١. لاحظتُه والبدرُ ليلةَ تَمِّهِ
قد لاح فوقَ قميصِه المزرورِ
2. I saw his cheeks where perfume ran
Like musk on camphor very white.
٢. فرأيتُ صُدْغيهِ وقد سَالا على
وَجَناتِه مِسْكاً على كافورِ
3. His mole was like a line of dark
Inscribed on parchment fair and bright.
٣. وكأنَّ خَطَّ عِذارِه في خدِّهِ
سَطْرَا ظلامٍ في صحيفةِ نُورِ
