هذا الهلالُ شبيهُهُ في حُسنهِ
وبهائِه كَلاَّ وفترةِ جَفنِه
This crescent resembles him in beauty
and splendor? No, by the languor of his eyelid!
هَبكَ ادَّعيتَ بهاءَه وضياءَه
كيفَ احتيالُك في تأَوُّدِ غُصنِهِ
Suppose you claimed his splendor and radiance—
how could you match the swaying of his bough?
لو لاحظَتك جُفُونُه بِفُتُورِها
أقسمتَ أنك ما رأيتَ كَحُسنِهِ
If his eyelids glanced at you with their languor,
you would swear you had never seen beauty like his.
