كُراتُ دَسْتَنْبُويَةٍ نُضِّدَتْ

مختلفاتِ الشَّكْلِ والمنظَرِ

Chestnut spheres were lined up

Of different shapes and sights

فمستديرُ الشكلِ ذو سُمْرَةٍ

كأنَّهُ جُمْجُمةُ العنبرِ

The round shaped one with brownness

As if it were a piece of amber

ولابسٌ للنورِ ذو نُمرةٍ

والحسنُ كلُ الحُسْنِ للأَنْمرِ

Wearing light with spots

Beauty belongs to the leopard

وعسجديُّ اللونِ ذو صُفْرَةٍ

ضُمَّ إِلى تِرْبٍ لهُ أحمرِ

The blond colored one with yellowness

Added to red soil

كأنّهُ المِرِّيخُ في لونِه

قارنَهُ في بُرْجِه المُشْتَرِي

As if it were Mars in its color

Compare it in Jupiter's constellation
