ومقلة نجلاءُ فتاكةٌ
هاروتُ يسترشد من سحرها
And a wide, dark eye—deadly in its charm;
Harut himself seeks guidance from her magic.
وغرة مشرقة شمسها
وطرة قد حِرْتُ في أمرها
And a radiant brow, its sun aglow,
and a forelock whose mystery bewildered me;
وضعف خصر كاد أن لا يُرى
وكم حُلىً أضربت عن ذكرها
And a waist so slender it could scarcely be seen;
And how many charms I have left unmentioned.
وفي الهوى أشياء مستورةً
ما لسوى العشاق فيها نصيبْ
In love there are things kept hidden,
in which none but lovers have a share.
Sol 5.6
