شارِبُهُ فَيَروزجُ

وَحاجِباهُ سَبَجُ

His cheek is rosy

And his brow graceful

ظَبيٌ لَهُ مُرتَشَفٌ

عَذبٌ وَطَرفٌ أَدعَجُ

A gazelle with languid eyes

Sweet and tender glance

كَأَنَّما عارِضُهُ

وَصُدغُهُ المُنعَرِجُ

As if his cheek

Were a bending branch

غَلالَةٌ مِن سَوسَنٍ

طِرازُها بَنَفسَجُ

A necklace of lilies

Embroidered with violet
