للهِ خَدٌّ بَدَتْ من حُسْنِه حُجَجٌ

تُريح عاشقَه من عَتْبِ لائمِهِ

For God has cheeks marked with beauty

That soothe their Lover from an accuser's blame

قد أودع الحسنُ فيه ما يَضِنُّ به

واحتاط فالخالُ فيه طبعُ خاتَمِهِ

Beauty has endowed them with all they might want

The mole upon them is like the stamp of the seal

كفحمةٍ عَمَّ صِبْغُ النارِ ظاهرَها

وغادر البعضَ من مُسْوَدِّ فاحِمه

Like embers all covered over with the dye of fire

And some glimpses of darkness peeking out beneath
