1. وَذي مَحاسن في لَألاءِ وَجنَتِهِ

    خالٌ بِهِ شعرات مِثل لاماتِ

    And a fair one has, amid the radiance of his cheek,

    a mole with hairs like lām letters.

  2. قَلبي إِلى خَدِّه إِذ طارَ أَحرَقهُ

    بِنارِهِ فَتَبدّى خالُه الذّاتي

    When my heart flew to his cheek, the cheek burned it

    with its fire, and his natural mole appeared.

  3. بانَت سُوَيداؤُهُ مِنهُ إِذِ اِحتَرَقت

    بي فَتلكَ في خالِهِ صارَت شعيراتِ

    Its dark core separated from it when it burned

    within me; that became tiny hairs in his mole.
