إِن لَبِس البدرُ عقدَ أَنجحُه

فعقدُ ذا البدرِ درُّ مَبْسمِه

If the full moon wore a necklace,

Then the necklace of this full moon is the pearl of his smile,

أَو كان مسك الغزال سُترته

فمِسْكُ هَذا الغَزالِ في فمِه

Or if musk were the cloak of a gazelle,

Then the musk of this gazelle is in his mouth.
