Her stature is like a straight branch

وهيفاء كالغصن القويم قوامها

1. Her stature is like a straight branch
Swaying as the sticks shook on the dune

١. وهيفاءَ كالغصنِ القويمِ قوامُها
تَثنَّت كما اهتزَّ القضيبث على الكثبِ

2. With a face whose beauty equals the crescent moon when it first appears
And the sun of daylight has inclined to the west

٢. بوجهٍ له حسنُ الهلالِ اذا بدا
وقد جَنحت شمسُ النهارِ الى الغَربِ

3. In the morning she appeared but I did not injure my hands because of her glory
Yet I did wound my heart for her sake

٣. تبدّت فلم أجرح لاجلالِها يدي
غداةَ بَدت لكن جرحتُ لها قلبي

4. What a wonder from your companions, O Yusuf
And from me when we were called to love

٤. فواعجباً مِن صاحباتِكَ يوسفٌ
ومنِّي لمّا أن دُعينا الى الحبِّ

5. Feeble-minded ones who refrain from passion
While a fierce lion is led by a herd of deer

٥. ضعيفاتُ لُبٍّ يمتنعنَ على الهوى
وليثُ شرىً تقتادُهُ غادةُ السِّربِ
