1. وقالوا هلال الأفق في الوضع قد حكى

    جبين الذي تهواه واتضح الحق

    And they said, “The horizon’s crescent, in its form, indeed resembles

    the brow of the one you love”—and the truth became clear.

  2. فقلت نعم يحكي الهلال جبينه

    ولكن غدا في الحسن بينهما فرق

    So I said, “Yes, the crescent resembles his brow,

    and yet, in beauty, a difference has arisen between them.”
