هويت خياليا حكى الغصن قده
إذا ما انثنى هاجت عليه البلابل
I fell for an ethereal beloved whose stature resembled a bough;
whenever he swayed, the nightingales stirred around him.
وفي كسر ذاك الجفن صحة ما أتى
به سحر هاروت وضمته بابل
And in the languid droop of that eyelid is proof of what
the magic of Harut brought forth and Babylon held.
أراق دم العشاق سيف جفونه
ومن بعد ذا أضحى عليهم يخايل
The sword of his eyelids spilled the lovers’ blood;
and after that, he began to strut proudly before them.
