1. فديهِ في الحَمّام من متجرّدٍ

    جالَتْ مياهُ الحسن في أعطافِه

    A young man undressed in the bath

    The waters of beauty streamed down his sides

  2. يَهتزُّ كالغصنِ الرطيبِ إِذا مشى

    منه معاطفه على أردافِه

    He sways like a moist branch when he walks

    His clothes trailing behind over his hips

  3. قمر له خالٌ على وَجَنَاتِه

    كالمِسْكِ فوقَ الورد قبل قِطافِه

    A moon with a mole on his cheek

    Like musk atop a rose before plucking

  4. وفمٌ أقاحيُّ البسَامة مُسْكر

    حلو المذاق يعلني بسلافِه

    A mouth sweeter than honey when it smiles

    Announcing its sweetness with its lip

  5. يا كمَّل الله المهيمنُ حُسْنَه

    وحباه بالإِسعاف من الطافِه

    May God perfect his beauty

    And endow him with grace from above
