1. لازَوَرْدُ العِذارِ فَوْقَ نُضارِ ال

    خَدِّ يَحْكي تاريخَ عهدِ الجمالِ

    The lapis lazuli of the cheek-down upon the gold of the

    cheek recounts the chronicle of beauty’s reign.

  2. قَدْ وَشَتْهُ أيْدِي المحاسِنِ سَطْراً

    مُحْكَمَ الشَّكل مُعْجَماً بالغَوالي

    Indeed, the hands of loveliness have embroidered it as a line,

    precisely vowelled, dotted with precious perfumes.
