1. وسافرٍ عن قمرِ

    مبتسمٍ عن دُرَرِ

    And one unveiling a moon,

    Smiling to reveal pearls—

  2. لو لاحَ للحورِ وقد

    سلَّ حُسامَ الحَوَرِ

    Were he to appear before the houris, having

    Drawn the sword of his dark-eyed beauty,

  3. لقدَّ منه شَغَفَاً

    قميصُه من دُبُرِ

    It would surely be torn from him in passion—

    His shirt, from behind.
