1. مُحيّا شَقيق الشّمسِ رَوضُ مَحاسنٍ

    بِهِ تُحدِقُ الأَحداقُ مِن كلِّ عاشِقِ

    The face of the sun’s twin is a garden of charms.

    The eyes of every lover encircle it.

  2. عَلى وَردِه أَضحَت عِذاراً تظلّه

    تَقيهِ بِها في الدَّهرِ مِن كلِّ طارِقِ

    Upon its rose, they have become cheek-down that shades it,

    Protecting it thereby, throughout time, from every night visitor.
