سالت مسايل عارضْي

سالت مسايل عارضْي

هِ بنفسجاً في وردهِ

هِ بنفسجاً في وردهِ

The rivulets of his side-locks flowed—

violets amid the roses there;

فكأّنه من حُسْنِهِ

فكأّنه من حُسْنِهِ

عبثَ الربيع بخدّهِ

عبثَ الربيع بخدّهِ

as though, beguiled by his beauty,

spring had frolicked upon his cheek.
