وَلَيلِ أَرى الجَوزاء فيهِ مُطلة

عَليَّ تُحاكي شَخص نشوان مائل

And in the night I see Virgo lingering

upon me, mimicking a slender, inclined form.

وَقَد أَتلَعت مِنها نُجوم وَشاحها

كَأَنَّ سَناها فِضَةٌ مِن حَمائل

Her stars have come untied from her veil

as though her glittering teeth were silver pendants.
