لَهُ جَبهَةٌ كَالشَّمسِ شَعشعَ ضَوؤُها

فَصارَ بِها بدرُ الدّجى لَيسَ يُعرفُ

His brow is like the sun whose brilliance shone

making the full moon dark unrecognised

وَبي حاجِباهُ حاجِبانِ شعاعُها

عَنِ المُقَلِ المرضى فَلَم يكُ يُشرفُ

above his eyebrows the sunbeams play

illuminating eyes once sick, now opening wide

فَكَالشَّمسِ إِن يطلُعْ على الطّرفِ ضَوؤها

فَمِنهُ يكلُّ الطرفُ قَطعاً ويضعفُ

Like when the sun peeks o'er the horizon, its light

weakens all other lights till they're nullified
