1. يا ثَغَره من صُدغه وبناظرٍ

    من طَرفه وبسائف من خَدِّه

    O his mouth, from his temple, and by an eye

    From his gaze, and by a swordsman from his cheek,

  2. وَبمشرقٍ من صُدغه وبناظرٍ

    من خاليه وبعامِل من قَدِّه

    And by a radiant one from his temple, and by an eye

    From his two moles, and by a spear-shaft from his stature,

  3. ارفُق بما اِغتصب الغرامُ فقد أتى

    خَطّ العِذار موقعاً في ردّه

    Be gentle with what passion has seized, for there has come

    The line of cheek-down, endorsing its return.
