1. وَبي ثَناياهُ لَولا الدّرّ شابَهها

    لَكانَ بِالدّرِّ يَبدو غَيرَ مَنعوتِ

    And I am smitten with his front teeth; had pearls not resembled them,

    he would not seem describable in terms of pearls.

  2. عِقدانِ مِن لُؤلُؤٍ رطبٍ قَدِ اِنتَظَما

    نَعم وَقَد أودعا صُندوقَ ياقوتِ

    Two strands of moist pearls, already strung in order,

    yes, and both have been placed in a ruby casket.
