وأدهمَ من آل الوجيه ولاحق

له الليل لونٌ والصباح حجولُ

And the most handsome of the eminent family members followed him

The night colored his complexion and the morning made him shy

تحيَّر ماءُ الحسن فوق أديمه

فلولا التهاب الخَصر ظَل يسيلُ

The water of beauty was confused above his skin

So if it weren’t for his waist being lit up, it would have kept flowing

كان هلال الفطر لاح بوجهه

فأعيُنَنا شوقاً إليه تميلُ

The crescent moon of Eid appeared on his face

Our eyes incline towards him out of longing

كأن الرياح العاصفات تقِلُّه

إذا ابتلَّ منه محزِم وتَليلُ

It was as if the stormy winds were carrying him

When his belt and wraparound garment got wet from it

إذا الظافرُ الميمون في متنه علا

بدا الزهو في العِطفين منه يجول

When the glorious victorious one rose up on his steed

Pride in his shoulders started wandering

فمن رام تشبيهاً له قال موجزاً

وإن كان وصف الحسن منه يطول

So whoever wanted to compare him, said concisely

Even though describing his beauty takes long

هو الفَلَكُ الدوار في صَهَواته

لبدر الدياجي مَطلعٌ وأُفول

He is the revolving sphere in its orbits

For the full moon rising and setting
