1. ريمٌ يَتيهُ بِحُسنِ صورَتِهِ

    عَبَثَ الفُتورُ بِلَحظِ مُقلَتِهِ

    A gazelle takes pride in the beauty of his form.

    Languor has toyed with the glance of his eye.

  2. وَكَأَنَّ عَقرَبَ صُدغِهِ وَقَفَت

    لَمّا دَنَت مِن نارِ وَجنَتِهِ

    And the scorpion-curl at his temple seems to have halted

    When it drew near the fire of his cheek.
