ظبي من الترك قد فتنت به
يترك في حب مثله النُّسك
A Turkish gazelle has left me utterly enthralled;
A gazelle, turk-like, entranced me with her glance -
for love of such a one, a man forsakes devotion.
Abandoning devoutness for love of her like
كأنما الثغر تحت شامته
كأس رحيق ختامه مسك
It is as though the mouth beneath his beauty mark
Her lips under her moles were like a cup
were a cup of nectar whose seal is musk.
Whose seal was pure musk
