1. خَدٌّ سوادُ الصُّدْغِ من فوقهِ

    قد صبغتْهُ يدُ صبَّاغِهِ

    A cheek, with the temple-lock's blackness above it,

    has been dyed by its dyer's hand.

  2. يا عجباً للجَمْرِ من خدِّهِ

    لم تشتعلْ في مِسْكِ أصداغِهِ

    How strange that the embers of his cheek

    have not caught fire amid the musk of his temple-locks!
