الآن قد صحَّت لدَيَّ شهادةٌ

That none can match his beauty, even the painter

خطٌّ يكتِّبُهُ حَوَالَي خدِّه

قلمُ الإله بنَقس مسكٍ أذفرِ

A line of down is inscribed around his cheek

The lines that frame his cheek

by the pen of God, in ink of intensely fragrant musk.

Are drawn by God's pen with musk-colored saffron ink
