1. She came into view before us, an anklet upon her leg.

    And one feature of hers—her cheek—was adorned with a beauty mark.

  2. When I caught her in a dwelling of mine that stood empty,

    I said, “Have mercy on a man wasted by love.” She said, “Yes, uncle.”

  3. And she unveiled a face that whoever saw it fancied

    Was a full moon risen; then she cast off her robes of khāl cloth.

  4. She seemed a bough in the gardens of Dhū Khāl.

    And ask not what happened with a full-bosomed girl so sparing of her favors.
