1. قلْ في اخضِرارِ عِذارِهِ وقَوَامهِ

    خلعَ الرَّبيعُ على غُصُونِ البَانِ

    Say of the greening of his cheek-down and his stature:

    Spring has bestowed robes upon the bān tree’s branches.

  2. وانشُرْ مِنَ الأَغزال في أَرْدافهِ

    حُللاً فَواصلها على الكُثْبانِ

    And spread, from love poems, over his buttocks,

    Robes whose borders lie upon the dunes.
