وَرَقصٍ كَشِعرِيَ في الإِفتِنانِ

إِذا حَثَّ حُثَّت كُمَيتُ الدِنانِ

With dancing like my hair in rapture

When urged, the pot of fat shook

لِأَهيَفَ قَد بانَ في قَدِّهِ

مِنَ الحُسنِ ما لَيسَ في غُصنِ بانِ

For the slender one has appeared in his form

Beauty not found in the boughs of Bān

قَصيدَةُ رُؤياهُ طَنّانَةٌ

وَمَقطوعُ لُقياهُ حُلوُ المَعاني

An ode, his dream is mellifluous

And the encounter of his meeting is sweet meaning

تُشيرُ إِشارَتُهُ بِالسُرورِ

فَنَقبَلُ مِن رَأيِها كُلُّ رانِ

His gestures hint with happiness

So we accept from its view every flexible one

كَأَنَّ اللَباقَةَ قَد أُفرِغَت

لَنا مِن مَقاطِعِهِ في أَوانِ

As if etiquette was poured out

For us from his phrases in its time
