1. تَرامى شُعاعُ الشّمسِ عَنها نِيابَةً

    عَلى رِجلِ بَدرِ الحسنِ كلا وَقَبّلا

    The sun’s ray flung itself down as her proxy,

    At the foot of beauty’s full moon, grew faint, and kissed it.

  2. تَرجّاه في عَفوٍ لَها عَن قُصورِها

    فَقَبَّل رِجلَيهِ وَأَبدى التّذلُّلا

    It implored him to pardon her shortcomings,

    Then kissed his feet and displayed submission.
