1. فديت ذا الوجهَ فما أبهجَهْ

    وذلك الطرف فما أغنجَهْ

    I would give my life for that face—how radiant it is!

    And for that glance—how coy it is!

  2. وذلك الثغر فما أنظَمَ الـ

    ـلؤلؤَ في سمطه أثلجَهْ

    And that mouth—how beautifully arranged the

    pearls in its string; how refreshing it is!

  3. إن كان مَن يُهْدَى له بَرْدُه

    مثليَ في الفقرِ فما أحوجَهْ

    If the one to whom its coolness is given

    is poor like me, how greatly he needs it!
