قَد اِبتُدِعَت خَلقاً مِنَ المِسكِ وَالنورِ
And a woman radiant to behold, fragrant in scent,
The fragrant splendid-viewing one,
has been wondrously fashioned from musk and light.
Was created from musk and light,
رَنَتshe gazed مِثلَlike مَذعورِa startled one الظِباءِthe gazelles وَإِنَّماand yet
رَنَت مِثلَ مَذعورِ الظِباءِ وَإِنَّما

مَشَت مِثلَما يَمشي القَطا غَيرَ مَذعورِ
She gazed like a startled gazelle, yet
She bleated like a startled gazelle, though
walked as sandgrouse walk, unstartled.
She walked like a cat, unstartled.
وَقَدand indeed طَرَّفَتshe dyed the tips of بيضَwhite البَنانِthe fingers بِأَسوَدٍwith black
وَقَد طَرَّفَت بيضَ البَنانِ بِأَسوَدٍ
كَماjust as تَستَمِدُّdraw up as ink المِسكَmusk أَقلامُpens كافورِof camphor
كَما تَستَمِدُّ المِسكَ أَقلامُ كافورِ
And she had dyed her white fingertips black,
She lined her white fingers with black kohl,
as pens of camphor take up musk for ink.
As musk is extracted by camphor pens.
