وشادِنٍ ما مِثلُه في الجِنان

قد فاق في الحسن جميعَ الحِسان

With beauty unrivaled in the gardens

And a young gazelle whose like is not in the gardens,

Surpassing all the beauties there

Who has surpassed in beauty all the fair ones.

لم أرَ إِلا عينَه جَعبَةً

للسيف والنَّصلِ وحدِّ السِّنان

Naught but his alluring eyes I saw

I saw his eye as nothing but a quiver

Keener than blade, sharper than spearhead's point

For the sword, the blade, and the edge of the spear.
