1. وشادنٍ ما توخّى وصفَه أَحَدٌ

    إلّا تلجلج في وصف الذي وَصَفا

    And a young gazelle whom no one has sought to describe

    Without faltering in his description of him.

  2. يلوحُ في خدِّه وردٌ على زَهَرٍ

    يعود من حسنه غضّاً إذا قطُفا

    On his cheek a rose gleams upon blossoms,

    Growing fresh again through his beauty whenever plucked.

  3. لا شيءَ أَعجَبُ من جَفنَيه إتَّهما

    لا يُضعفانِ القُوى إلّا إذا ضَعُفا

    Nothing is more wondrous than his eyelids, for they

    Weaken strength only when they themselves grow weak.
