وخودٍ ضمَّ مئزرُها كثيباً

يهالَ وبُرْدُها غُصْناً يراحَ

A beauty whose robe is wrapped around her like a dune,

Swaying gently like a branch in the breeze.

لها قُلُبٌ أبى النطقَ اكتتاماً

وسرُّ نطاقِها أبداً مباح

Her heart refuses to speak a word,

Keeping its secret forever unrevealed.

وقد أمرتْهما بالكتمِ لكنْ

أطاعَ سوارُها وعصى الوشاح

Though she commanded them both to stay silent,

Her bracelet obeyed while her sash disobeyed.
