1. بِروحِيَ في وَردِ خَدَّيهِ خال

    أَدمْتُ لَهُ اللّحظ بِالمُقلَتينِ

    I would give my soul for a mole amid the roses of his cheeks.

    I kept my gaze fixed upon it with both eyes.

  2. وَقَد قالَ لي في خُدوديَ ورد

    فَقُلت صَدقتَ وَحبّةُ عَيني

    And he said to me, “There are roses on my cheeks.”

    So I said, “True—and the pupil of my eye as well.”
