Claude 2

  1. طراز ذاك العذار من رقمه

    ودر دمعي بفيه من نظمه

    The elegance of that gazelle in his movement,

    And the pearl in my tear from his prose.

  2. وخاله فوق كنز مبسمه

    بالمسك قفلا عليه من ختمه

    His mole above the treasure of his smile,

    Locked with musk over it from his mark.

  3. من لي به ظالم الجفون سطا

    ظلما على صبه وما رحمه

    Who can help me with that tyrant of eyelids,

    Unjustly upon my love and did not pity him?

  4. اقسم لا حال عن ضنى جسدي

    وبر بالهجر في الهوى قسمه

    I swear no condition away from the intimacy of my body,

    And innocence in passion is his oath.

  5. وداء جسمي هو الخبير به

    ما ضره بالوصال لو حسمه

    My body’s illness is the expert in it,

    Not harmed by union even if it tested him.

  6. ان رق جسمي عليه من شغف

    فادمعي في هواه منسجمه

    That my body became tender upon it from passion,

    So my tears in his love harmonized.

  7. غصن نديم الدلال ميله

    تبارك الله باري النسمه

    A branch, a friend of coyness, his inclination.

    Blessed is God, Creator of the breeze.

  8. نشوان عطف يميل من صلف

    بالغصن من قاسه فقد ظلمه

    Joyful sympathy that inclines from coldness,

    By the branch from its harshness he has wronged it.

  9. فالشمس من وجهه لها شبه

    ومنه بدر السما عليه سمه

    The sun from his face resembles it,

    And from it the full moon upon it marked him.

  10. ساق ففيه المدام طاب وقد

    حلا ارتشافا فما الذ فمه

    He walked so the wine is good in it, and has

    Sipped it gently so his mouth did not offend him.

  11. اعارني خصره السقام كما

    اعار جسمي لجفنه سقمه

    His waist lent me sickness, as

    My body lent his eyelids sickness.

  12. لو قيل لي مت غدا قضيت على

    حكم الهوى وامتثلت ما رسمه

    If it was said to me you will die tomorrow, I would fulfill

    The rule of passion and do what it designed.

  13. او زارني طيفه فرشت له

    خدي وقبلت لاثما قدمه

    Or his phantom visited me, I would spread

    My cheek and kiss the ground of his steps.
