قدُّ القَضيبِ حَكى رشاقةَ قدّهِ

والوردُ يحسدُ وَردَهُ في خَدِّهِ

The slimness of his figure tells of his slender waist

The rose envies the rose in his cheek

وَالشمسُ جَوهرُ نورِها من نورهِ

والبَدرُ أسعدُ سعدِهِ من سَعدِهِ

The sun, the essence of its light is from his light

The full moon is more fortunate in its fortune than his fortune

خِشفٌ أرقُّ من البهاءِ بَهاؤُهُ

ومن الفِرندِ المحضِ في إفرندِهِ

Dazzlingly brighter than splendor is his splendor

And purer than pure silver is his silver

لو مُكِّنت عيناكَ من وجناتهِ

لرأيتَ وجهَكَ في صفيحةِ خدِّهِ

If your eyes were enabled to see his cheeks

You would see your face in the mirror of his cheek
