تَفديهِ مِنا وَإِن عَزَّ الفِدا مُهج

مِنهُ المَحاسن تَرويها وَتَفديها

We'd ransom him with what we have, though high the price

His charms which ruh's breeze and musk's scent appraise

رِيح تَشمُّ وَلَو بالوهم طَرَّتهُ

عرف الصِبا وَعَبيق المسك يُؤذيها

A fancied whiff of him would her appall

His youthfulness and musky fragrance her dismays
