1. I said, as he came rushing towards me,
A tawny gazelle narrating the tale of his eyes,
١. قُلْتُ وَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ يَسْعَى بِهَا
صَفْراءَ تَحْكي فِعْلَ عَيْنَيهْ
2. If I compare his beauty to the sun,
Then the sun is held in the grasp of his hands.
٢. إِنْ قِسْتُهُ بِالشَّمْسِ في حُسْنِهِ
فَالشَّمْسُ في قَبْضَةِ كَفَّيْهْ
