ومدلّلٍ دقّت محا

سنُ وجهه عن أن تُكيَّف

With a delicate, refined beauty

His face is too noble to be veiled

تركَ التصنُّع للجما

فكان أظرفَ للتّظرًُّف

He has left affectation to the masses

Thus he is most graceful in his manners

لو أنّ وجهَ البدرش يشب

هُ وجهَه ما كان يُكسَف

If the full moon's face were to resemble

His face, it would not be eclipsed

الصُّدغُ مسكٌ والثنا

يا لؤلؤٌ والرِّيقُ قَرقَف

His temples are musk, his front teeth

Pearls, his saliva pure wine

والوردُ من وجناتهِ

بأنامل الألحاظِ يُقطَف

And the roses from his cheeks

Are plucked by the glances' fingers
