فَمالَ وَمِن أَعطافِهِ تُقبَسُ الخَمرُ

And a gazelle among the Turks—youth made him sway;

So he leaned, and from his sides wine is ladled.

إِذا أَخَذَ المِرآةَ يَنظُرُ وَجهَهُ

ظَنَنتَهُما شَمسَينِ بَينَهُما بَدرُ

ظَنَنتَهُما شَمسَينِ بَينَهُما بَدرُ

When he takes the mirror and looks at his face,

You would think them two suns with a moon between them.
