1. راحَت تَميسُ وَحَولَها خُردٌ

    كَالبَدرِ بَينَ كَواكِبٍ شُهبِ

    She went swaying gracefully, with bashful maidens around her,

    Like the full moon among bright stars.

  2. فَمَلَأتُ طَرفي مِن مَحاسِنَها

    وَنَسيتُ ما يَجني عَلى الصَبِّ

    So I filled my eyes with her charms,

    And forgot what brings harm to the lovesick lover.

  3. عَينٌ تَفُلُّ السَيفَ لَحظَتُها

    أَصبَحتُ آمَنُها عَلى قَلبي

    An eye whose glance blunts the sword—

    I have come to trust it with my heart.
