تَمَلَّك لُبّي وَالفُؤادَ مُهفهفٌ

رَشيقُ قَوامٍ بَعدَ ما كانَ غاصِبا

My heart and mind are possessed

By a slender, graceful figure after being reserved

وَقَد حَجَبته مِن لَواحيَّ أَعينٌ

وَلَم أَدرِ أَنَّ العَينَ تُقْلب حاجِبا

Eyes have veiled him from my glances

I did not know the eye turns down its lid
