1. وليس اللَمى والخالُ زينةَ فطرةٍ

    ولكنَّها قلبُ المُتَيَّمِ ذي الوجْدِ

    And the lips’ dusky hue and the mole are no inborn adornment;

    Rather, they are the heart of one enslaved by love and filled with longing.

  2. نهبتِ سُوَيداءَ الفُؤادِ بنظْرةٍ

    فقَسَّمْتِها بينَ المْقبَّلِ والخَدِّ

    You plundered the heart’s black core with a glance,

    Then divided it between your lips and cheek.
