1. أَعطافُهُ فِتنَةُ الفُتونِ

    وَقَدُّهُ قدَّ مِن غُصونِ

    His flanks are the charm of charms,

    And his figure was fashioned from boughs.

  2. ظَبيٌ ظُبا لَحظِ مُقلَتَيهِ

    لَها جُفونٌ مِن جُفونِ

    A gazelle—the blades of his eyes’ glance

    Have sheaths made of eyelids.

  3. يَقودُ إِن قادَ التَثَنّي

    كُلَّ جَنانٍ إِلى الجُنونِ

    He leads, if swaying leads him,

    Every heart to madness.

  4. ما صَدَّ بَعدَ الوَصالِ إِلّا

    أَجرى عُيوناً مِنَ العُيونِ

    He never turned away after union without

    Making springs flow from eyes.
