1. أَيُّ وَردٍ عَلى خُدودِ الغَزالِ

    أَيُّ مَيلٍ في قَدِّهِ وَاِعتِدالِ

    What roses upon the gazelle’s cheeks!

    What swaying in his figure, and what poise!

  2. أَيُّ دُرٍّ إِذا تَبَسَّمَ يُبدي

    هِ وَسِحرٍ في طَرفِهِ وَدَلالِ

    What pearls he reveals when he smiles—

    and what magic in his gaze, and what coquetry!
