    بِه عِذارٌ سُندُسِي

    He appeared with a smooth face,

    with silken cheek-down upon it,

  2. تحتَ عُيونٍ نُعَّسِ

    وفوقَ شِعرٍ حَندَسِي

    beneath languid eyes,

    and above night-black hair,

  3. علَى قَضِيبٍ أميَس

    ما اسمُ الجَميلِ الكَيِّسِ

    upon a gracefully swaying bough.

    What is the name of the handsome, clever one?
