1. شارِبُهُ فَيَروزجُ

    وَحاجِباهُ سَبَجُ

    His mustache is turquoise,

    and his eyebrows are jet.

  2. ظَبيٌ لَهُ مُرتَشَفٌ

    عَذبٌ وَطَرفٌ أَدعَجُ

    A gazelle whose lips

    are sweet, and whose eyes are large and dark.

  3. كَأَنَّما عارِضُهُ

    وَصُدغُهُ المُنعَرِجُ

    As though his cheek

    and his curling temple-lock

  4. غَلالَةٌ مِن سَوسَنٍ

    طِرازُها بَنَفسَجُ

    were a sheer robe of lilies,

    with violets for its embroidered border.
