عَلى قَدَمٍ مَكنونَةِ اللَونِ رَخصَةٍ

عَلى قَدَمٍ مَكنونَةِ اللَونِ رَخصَةٍ

وَكَعبٍ كَذِفرى جُؤذَرِ الرَملِ أَدرَما

وَكَعبٍ كَذِفرى جُؤذَرِ الرَملِ أَدرَما

Upon a tender foot of sheltered hue,

On a foot whose hue lies hidden

And a smooth, rounded ankle like the prominence behind the ear of a wild-ox calf of the sands.

And heels as the roots of sandlilies white
