تدلّ على تحريره واعتباره
A handsome youth showed me a note in his handwriting,
Beautiful is his handwriting to me a note
attesting to his skill in writing and his discernment.
That shows his good composition and esteem

فلم أرَ في خط وشكل كحسنها

سوى شكل خدَّيه وخط عذاره
And I saw no script or vowel marks to match its beauty,
Yet in no script or form have I seen beauty
save the shape of his cheeks and the line of his cheek-down.
Like the shape of his cheeks or line of his brow
