لحاظُها مثلَ سيوفَ الهندِ
A beauty like the sheen of watered sword steel.
Like the color of French silk her cheek,
Her glances are like the swords of India.
Her face like the swords of India so sleek,

وشعرها جنْدٌ ولا كالجُندِ

تعلمتْ بطءَ الخطى من فَنْدِ
And her hair is an army, yet unlike an army.
Her hair an army, not troops to seek,
She learned slowness of step from Fand.
She learned her graceful walk from the Greek,

And she has ardent longing, and so do I.
She has coquetry while I but pine,
Had they portrayed the fingers of that forearm,
If they portrayed those cheeks divine,

لصورني فيهِ يوسفغفندي
Yusufghafandi would have portrayed me in it.
They'd paint me as Yusuf Effendi.
