1. رمى لحظَهُ فأصابَ الحشا

    قضيبُ نقا ماسَ في بُرْدِهِ

    He shot his glance and struck the heart.

    A bough upon a sand dune, he swayed in his mantle.

  2. فلمْ أَرَ أرْشَقَ مِنْ لحظِهِ

    ولمْ أرَ أرشقَ مِنْ قدِّهِ

    So I have seen nothing surer in aim than his glance,

    nor anything more graceful than his figure.
