1. فِدىً لِعِذارٍ فوْقَ خدِّكَ رائِقٍ

    كَما نَبَتَ الرّيْحانُ فوْقَ الشّقائِقِ

    May I be a ransom for the lovely down upon your cheek,

    Like basil sprouting above the anemones.

  2. وسُقْيا لغُصْنٍ من قَوامِكَ مائِلٍ

    كما مالَ لُدْنُ القُطْبِ بيْنَ الحَدائِقِ

    And may rain bless the swaying branch of your figure,

    As the caltrop’s supple stem bent among the gardens.

  3. وطُوبَى لنَفْسٍ مُتِّعَتْ منْكَ بالمُنَى

    وفازَتْ بحُكْمٍ للسّعادَةِ سابِقِ

    And blessed is a soul that through you was granted its wishes,

    And found success through a prior decree of happiness.
