1. وَتُفّاحةٌ حَمراء في كفِّ ماجِدٍ

    لَقَد شِمتُ مِنها الحُسنَ أَنوَرَ ساطِعِ

    And a red apple in a noble man's palm—

    Indeed, I beheld beauty in it, radiant and shining.

  2. وَقَد خِلْتُها كُرسِيَّ خَدِّ حَبيبَةٍ

    وَأَمسَكَها صَبٌّ بِكلِّ الأَصابِعِ

    And I fancied it the seat of a beloved woman's cheek,

    And a lovesick man held it with all his fingers.
