أغرّ كالبدر يستسقي الغمام به

أغرّ كالبدر يستسقي الغمام به

كأن ديباجتيْ خديه من ذهبِ

كأن ديباجتيْ خديه من ذهبِ

Radiant as the full moon, through him the clouds are entreated for rain.

His face was as radiant as the full moon beseeching the clouds for rain,

As though the two silken surfaces of his cheeks were made of gold.

As if his cheeks were brocade of gold.
