وَصَلَتانٍ فَلتانٍ أَنمُرِ
كَأَنَّهُ إِذا هَوى لِلأَعفَرِ
And a bold, unbridled one, leopard-spotted—
as though, when he swoops upon the tawny quarry,
مُعَنبَرٌ يَهوي إِلى مُزَعفَرِ
بِأَبيَضٍ مِنَ البُزاةِ أَقمَرِ
an amber-perfumed one were swooping upon one saffron-dyed—
with a white one among the hawks, moon-bright,
مُنَمنَمُ الصَدرِ كَصَدرِ الدَفتَرِ
بِمِثلِ أَهدابِ جُفونِ الأَحوَرِ
his breast finely patterned like a manuscript’s frontispiece,
with markings like the lashes on the lids of a dark-eyed beauty.
Sol 5.6
