1. فتكتْ في الناسِ أعينها

    وعيونُ الناسِ تنهبُها

    Her eyes wreaked havoc among the people,

    And the people's eyes plunder her.

  2. ما يناجي أُذنها نفسٌ

    صاعدٌ إلا ويطربُها

    No breath whispers to her ear

    As it rises, without delighting her.

  3. وانثنت عُجباً فلستَ ترى

    عاشقاً إلا ويعجُبها

    And she turned in self-admiration; you never see

    A lover who does not please her.

  4. كلُّ رجلٍ في تنقلها

    تحتها قلبٌ يُقَلبها

    Each foot, as she moves,

    Has beneath it a heart that turns it.
