فديتُ مسافِراً ركِبَ الفيافي

وأَثَّرَ في محاسِنِهِ السِّفارُ

I ransom a traveler who rode the howdahs

And left his mark on their beautiful trappings

فمسَّكَ وردَ خدَّيهِ السَّوافي

وعَنْبَر مِسْكَ صدغَيْهِ الغبارُ

Who held a rose to his cheeks in farewell

And the dust was ambergris on his temples
