1. جُمِعتْ للبنانٍ ثلاثُ محاسنٍ

    مِمَّنْ هويتُ على جلالةٍ قدرِهِ

    Three beauties were gathered for Lebanon

    from the one I loved, despite his exalted rank:

  2. تفاحةٌ مِنْ وجنتيهِ وخمرةٌ

    مِنْ مقلتيهِ وثلجةٌ مِنْ ثغرهِ

    an apple from his cheeks, and wine

    from his eyes, and a piece of snow from his mouth.
