1. ظَبيَةٌ كَالهِلالِ لَو تَلحَظُ الصخ

    رَ بِطرفٍ لغادرته هشيما

    A gazelle like the crescent moon—if she looked at a rock

    with a glance, she would surely leave it shattered.

  2. وَإِذا ما تَبَسَّمَت خِلتَ ما يَب

    دو مِنَ الثَغرِ لُؤلُؤاً مَنظوما

    And whenever she smiles, you would think what appears

    from her mouth to be pearls strung together.
