أَلا قُل لِذاتِ الخالِ عَنّي إِنَّني

لَأَرغَبُ عَن خالٍ تَطَلَّعَ في خَدِّ

Tell the beauty mark on the cheek from me that I

Prefer a mole that peeks from a cheek

وَزَهَّدَني في ذَلِكَ الخالِ نِسبَةٌ

أَراها بِخالِ الخَدِّ مِن جُعلِ الوَردِ

And that affinity made me spurn that mark

For I see it on the cheek as paste of roses
