وَوَردِيِّ خَدٍّ نَرجِسيِّ لَواحِظٍ

لَهُ كامِلو النّسّاكَ أُذْناً قَدِ اِهتَووا

With his narcissus-hued cheek and roseate complexion

The ascetics incline a heedful ear, utterly enraptured;

وَوافي صَحيح السّحر مِن كَسرِ جَفنِهِ

مَشايخ عِلم السّحر عَن لَحظِهِ رووا

And the truthful enchantment of his gaze's magic

From which the masters of enchantment's knowledge narrate

وَواوات صُدغَيهِ حَكَين عَقارِباً

عَلى لَدغِ أَحشاءِ المَشوقِ قَدِ اِحتَووا

Are his mole-adorned temples that tell of scorpions

Having stung the innermost being of the lover that languishes

وَوشيَةِ خَدَّيهِ بِلاماتِ عارِضٍ

مِنَ المِسكِ فَوقَ الجلّنار قَد اِلتووا

And the down on his cheeks, with the marks of a censurer

Over which pure musk the beauties have smeared

وَوَجنَتهِ الحَمرا تَلوحُ كَجَمرةٍ

أُولو العِشقِ أَحداقاً عَليها لَقَد هووا

And his red lips that gleam like embers

The passionate have cast their glances, utterly enamored

وَوَقد لَظى الخدّينِ بِالحُسنِ وَالحَيا

عَلَيها قُلوب العاشِقينَ قَدِ اِكتَووا

And his cheeks have been enflamed by beauty and shyness

Upon which the hearts of lovers have been utterly branded

وَودِّي لهُ باقٍ وَلَست بِسامع

كَلامَ سِوى المُغرين مَن بِالهَوى غووا

My love for him is lasting - I do not heed

The speech of other than those enraptured by love and desire

وَوَصلي بِهِ أَبغي وَإِنّي لَتارك

لِقَولِ حسودٍ وَالعَواذل إِن عووا

And my desire of him is to seek and maintain connection

Turning away from the talk of envious and chaste if they deter

وَواللَّهِ لا أَسلو وَلَو صِرتُ رمَّة

وَلَو قَطَع العذّال لَحمي وَقَد شووا

By God, I would not refrain, even if I became withered dregs

Even if the rebuker had chopped my flesh, utterly lacerated

وَوَهمِيَ سلواه عَديمٌ وجودُه

وَكَيفَ وَأَحشائي على حبّه اِنطووا

And they ask me to refrain, but nonexistent is one who would prohibit me

How could they when my entrails are utterly enveloped by his passion
