1. إِنَّ وَجهاً كَالبَدرِ في الإِشراقِ

    يُلحِقُ السائِحينَ بِالعُشَّاقِ

    Indeed, a face like the full moon in radiance

    turns wanderers into lovers.

  2. زانَهُ شَينُ غَيرِهِ جُدَرِيٌّ

    سِحرُهُ مثلُ سِحرِ تِلكَ المآقي

    What mars others adorned it: smallpox;

    its enchantment is like that of those eyes' corners.

  3. فَكأَنَّ الوَجهَ الجَميلَ لآلٍ

    مُلصَقَاتٌ بِناصِعِ الأَوراقِ

    So the beautiful face is as though it were pearls

    pasted onto bright white sheets of paper.

  4. وَاِعتَلى في التصاقِها جُدَرِيٌّ

    فَاستَبانَت مَواضِعُ الإِلصاقِ

    And smallpox rose where they were attached,

    so the points of attachment became visible.
