وذي غَنَجٍ يَرنو بمُقلَةِ جُؤذُرٍ

متَى يَغْدُ فيه خالعَ العُذرِ يُعذَرِ

With a slimness that yearns with the slenderness of a tender twig

When will the one who sheds grace arrive to be excused?

له فَوقَ وَرْدِ الخَدِّ خالٌ كأنَّه

إذا احمرَّ وَرْدُ الخَدِّ نُقطةُ عَنبَرِ

Above the rose of his cheek he has a mole as though it were

A drop of amber when the rose of his cheek grows red
