1. إِلَيكَها فَاِجتَلِها مُنيرَةً

    وَقَد خَبا حَتّى الشِهابُ الثاقِبُ

    Here she is for you—behold her, radiant,

    though even the piercing meteor has dimmed.

  2. واقِفَةً بِالبابِ لَم يُؤذَن لَها

    إِلّا وَقَد كادَ يَنامُ الحاجِبُ

    Standing at the door, she was not admitted

    until the chamberlain had nearly fallen asleep.

  3. فَبَعضُها مِنَ المَخافِ جامِدٌ

    وَبَعضُها مِنَ الحَياءِ ذائِبُ

    Part of her is frozen with fear,

    and part of her is melting with modesty.
