ظبي إذا لاح في عشيرته
يطرق بالهم قلب من طرقه
A gazelle who, when he appears among his kin,
strikes with sorrow the heart of whoever visits him.
بدائع الحسن فيه مفترقه
وأعين الناس فيه متفقه
Beauty's wonders are scattered throughout him,
and people's eyes all converge upon him.
سهام ألحاظه مفوقة
فكل من رام لحظة رشقه
The arrows of his glances are nocked,
so he shoots everyone who seeks a glance.
قد كتب الحسن فوق عارضه
هذا مليح وحق من خلقه
Beauty has indeed written upon his cheek:
"This one is lovely, by the One who created him!"
Sol 6.1
