1. وقائلٍ هلْ طرفُهُ فاترٌ

    فقلتُ بالنونِ وبالكافِ

    And someone asked, “Is his gaze languid?”

    So I replied, “With nūn and with kāf—bewitching and deadly.”

  2. مِنْ جبلِ الريانِ أردافُهُ

    وصدغُهُ المعطوفُ مِنْ قافِ

    His buttocks are from Mount al-Rayyān,

    And his curved temple-lock is from Qāf.
