1. يا دُرَّةً وُضِعَت في وَسطِ وَجنَتِهِ

    فَأَصبَحَت خالَه فيها إِذِ اِلتَصَقَت

    O pearl placed in the middle of his cheek,

    It became his beauty mark there when it clung to it.

  2. هاجَت بِها فَرَحاً نيرانُ وَجنَتِهِ

    ذاتُ المَحاسِن فَاِسوَدَّت إذِ اِحتَرَقَت

    The fires of his cheek flared up with joy at it—

    That cheek so full of charms—and the pearl blackened as it burned.
