ومشوبِ الوداد ساغ هواهُ

في خفيّ الأحشاءِ أيَّ مساغِ

With sweet affection his love was mingled,

In my heart's core what blissful draught!

بلَّغت وحيه الذوائبُ فلبي

ما على المرسلين غيرُ البلاغ

His inspiration was brought by the locks,

On messengers naught but delivery of trust.

قمرٌ نورُ وجههِ يكسف الشـ

ـمس ذا حلَّ عقدة الأصداغ

A moon whose face's light outshines the sun,

When the knot of plaiting comes undone.
