إِذا تَحَلّى بِالعِذارِ وَمَشى

قُلتَ فَتاةٌ تَتَصَدّى لِفَتى

When adorned with bashfulness she walks,

You'd say, "A girl defying a youth;"

كَأَنَّهُ تَحتَ الحِلِيِّ رَوضَةٌ

دَرَّ عَلَيها الزَهرُ أَخلافَ الحَيا

As though beneath her necklaces a garden,

Where flowers succeed each other in bloom.
