لا يُلجِئَنَّ غَزالَ المِسك ذو حَوَرٍ

نَقِيُّ خدٍّ بِهِ لِلحسنِ أَنوارُ

The deer's musk-scent, though pure, cannot make

A cheek whose clear complexion is its own adornment,

فَرُبّما قَد رَمى بِالمسكِ وَجنَته

فَمِنهُ يَظهر في خَدّيْهِ آثارُ

And many a one who's flung on musk to hide his face

Betrays by his two cheeks the artifice of his endeavour
