1. حَكيتَ الدُجى والصُبحَ والغصنَ والنَقا

    قواماً وأَردافاً وفَرعاً ورَونَقا

    You resembled the night’s darkness, the dawn, the bough, and the sand dune,

    in stature, hips, tresses, and radiance.

  2. وأَخجلتَ حسناً طلعةَ البدرِ والرَشا

    وورقَ الحِمى لحظاً ووجهاً ومَنطِقا

    And in beauty you put to shame the full moon’s face and the gazelle fawn,

    and the sanctuary’s doves—in glance, face, and speech.
