وبِيضٍ كَدودِ القَزِّ زادَ اشتِباهُها

وأفْرَطَ حتّى بالتّكونِ في التّوتِ

With pearls white as silk worm's cocoons her mistake grew

And she went too far even with coils in her braids

تعَجّبْتُ مِنْها في بَنادِقِ جَوْهَرٍ

يُزَيِّنُها ما احْمَرّ منها بِياقوتِ

I wondered at her in boxes of gems

Adorned with the rubies among them
