1. وَحَقِّ القُدودِ الهيفِ والحَدقِ النُّجلِ

    وما حَلَّلت تلكَ اللَّواحِظُ من قَتلي

    By the sanctity of slender-waisted figures and wide eyes,

    And by my slaying, which those glances have made lawful,

  2. وَحَقِّ خُدودٍ يُخجِلُ الرَّوضَ وَردُها

    وَهدُبِ عُيونٍ هُنَّ أَمضى منَ النَّبلِ

    And by the sanctity of cheeks whose roses shame the garden,

    And by the lashes of eyes more piercing than arrows.
