1. وشادن قد كساه الرّوض حلّته

    يستوقف العين بين الغصن والكثب

    And a young gazelle whom the meadow has clothed in its robe

    arrests the eye between the bough and the dunes.

  2. مموّه الحسن لم يعدم مقبّله

    في خدّه رونقاً من ذلك الشّنب

    Gilded with beauty—his kisser has not failed to find

    upon his cheek a gleam of that cool sweetness of the teeth.

  3. تدعو الى حبّه لمياء كلّلَها

    زبرجد النّبت يجلو لؤلؤ الحبب

    A dark-lipped beauty calls one to love him; she is crowned

    by emerald greenery, which reveals the pearls of bubbles.
