وترى الثُّريَّا والهلال مُظاهِراً

بمعنبرٍ من حلتَيْهِ ومُجْسَدِ

You see the Pleiades and the crescent appearing

In a robe of two garments and an embodied form

كالدُّرِّ فُصِّلَ في وِشاحِ خَريدةٍ

حسناءَ تجلى من لثامٍ أسْوَدِ

Like a pearl set in the scarf of a lovely purchaser

A beauty revealed from a black veil

وكأنهُ وكأنها في جَنْبِه

عنقودةٌ في زورقٍ من عَسْجَدِ

As though it and as though she at its side

Were a cluster in a boat of aloes wood
