دب العذار بخده

حتى تكامل واتسق

The musk's fragrance graced his cheek

Until perfection it did seek

قالوا تعذر قلت قد

راقت محاسنه ورق

They said it's hard, I said indeed

His beauty pleases me and bleeds

والورد أحسن ما يكو

ن إذا تمازج بالورق

The rose is best when intertwined

With leaves, as beauty redefined
