1. With a supple frame and graceful bearing
His glance and gesture ceaseless battle wage
١. وأهيف القد لدن العطف معتدل
بالطرف والظرف لا ينفك قتالا
2. If his face shine forth, his days grant unto us
Limbs severed by estrangement he could assuage
٢. إن جال أهدى لنا الآجال ناظره
أوصال قطع بالهجران أوصالا
3. And if to his polished mirror I should look
I'd think no human owns eyes above this sage
٣. وإن نظرت إلى مرآه وجنته
حسبت إنسان عيني فوقها خالا
4. As though his cheek had donned sweet musk for me
Or night did o'er his face a shadow page
٤. كأن عارضه بالمسك عارضني
أو ليل طرته في خده سالا
5. The light of his cheeks pours on my vision
Sketching by night shapes over dawn presage
٥. أوطاف من نور خديه على بصري
فخط بالليل فوق الصبح أشكالا
