1. Like an apple scented with musk, and tasting of raisins
Studded with rubies and sprinkled with ambergris
١. وَتُفَّاحَةٍ كَالْمِسْكِ طِيباً وَكَالْمُصَا
بِ طَعْماً تَرَدَّتْ بِالْعَقِيقِ وَباِلتِّبْرِ
2. It told of the charm of my beloved, and the sweetness of his saliva
And his cheek the color of anemones, even during our estrangement
٢. حَكَتْ نَشْرَ مَنْ أَهْوَى وَمعْسُولَ رِيقِهِ
وَوَجْنَتَهُ الرَّيَّا وَلَوْنِي لَدَى الْهَجْرِ
