ومائق فوق صدره هنة

جازت بشبر مشَكَّ منطقتِهْ

Soft curves above his chest, a beauty

That passed, bound with a perfumed sash.

إذا أراد الكرى توسدها

فقد كفته مكان مرفقته

When he wished to rest his head upon her

His hand sufficed instead of her elbow.

علامة الفسق طول لحيته

وآية الفحل طول شقشقته

The mark of villainy is the length of his beard,

The sign of virility is the length of his forelock.
