في ظل أهداب عيونك وود خدّك آل
وحسن يوسف ميراث عنه لوجهك آل
In the shade of your eyes’ lashes, love for your cheek found its home;
and Joseph’s beauty—an inheritance from him—passed to your face.
والشمس ويا الآمر في حسنهم لك آل
لو أُلت للصب اُل كل الملاح جندي
And the sun, O sovereign, in their beauty, came to belong to you.
Had I said to the dawn, “Say: every beautiful one is my soldier.”
Sol 5.6
