1. لا تظنوا إن لاح في الخد منه

    عارضٌ أن حسنه قد تولى

    Do not think, if upon his cheek there appears

    a growth of down, that his beauty has departed.

  2. كيف يذوى من روض خديه زهرٌ

    وعلى الروض عارضٌ قد أطلا

    How could a flower from the garden of his cheeks wither,

    when above the garden a rain cloud has appeared?
