And one with bewildered glances—you think him, because of
And of perplexing moments you'd think it cheek
Their bewilderment, awakened from the drowsiness of sleep.
Imprisoned by the year of sleep, awakened,

حُسناً بِلا ضدٍّ فَكانا أشبَها
And his whiteness lies amid a golden-red hue; the two are joined
And its whiteness paired with blondness they compared,
In beauty, without discord, and are all the more alike.
Beauty without match, so they became most similar,

Like chains of yellow-tinted gold above a face
Like necklaces of gold embossed above a face
Of silver, resplendent in loveliness.
Of smooth complexion with coquetry adorned,

And so too the morning: its whiteness lies amid a golden-red hue,
And so is morning’s whiteness paired with blondness
As though, in both, it had come to resemble him.
As if with both at dawn it became well-matched,

And when a rosy flush appears upon his cheeks,
And when flushing appeared on his cheeks
He seems like unmixed wine in crystal.
It was as if the red wine was in the goblet poured.
