1. له قباءٌ خلْتُ تطريزَهُ

    لحسنِه تطريزَ خدِّيهِ

    He has a robe whose embroidery I imagined,

    for its beauty, to be the embroidery of his cheeks.

  2. ملتفتٌ نحوي كظبي النقا

    لا ما لظبيٍ غنجُ عينيهِ

    He turns toward me like a gazelle of the sand dune—

    No, no gazelle has the coy charm of his eyes.
