1. بَدرُ تَمٍّ لَهُ عَلى الخَد خالٌ

    في اِحمرار يَنشَقُّ مِنهُ الشَقيق

    A full moon, with a mole upon his cheek,

    Amid a blush from which the anemone bursts open.

  2. كتب الحُسن بِالمحقق مَعنا

    هُ وَلَكن عِذارَه تَعليقُ

    Beauty inscribed his essence in muḥaqqaq script,

    Yet his cheek-down is taʿlīq.
