1. وَأَحوَرَ مَعشوقِ الدَّلالِ مُهَفهَفٍ

    يُديرُ إِلى العُشَّاقِ مُقلَةَ ريمِ

    And a dark-eyed, slender one, whose coquetry is adored,

    Turns a gazelle’s eye toward the lovers.

  2. سَباني بِخَدٍ كالصَّباحِ مُنَوَّرٍ

    وَعَطفَةِ صُدغٍ كالظَلامِ بَهيمِ

    He captivated me with a cheek radiant as morning,

    And the curve of a sidelock, pitch-black as darkness.
