1. وَجهه البَدرُ اِهتَوتهُ غَادَةٌ

    هِيَ مِثل الشّمسِ أَو كَالقمرِ

    His face is the full moon; a graceful maiden fell in love with him.

    She is like the sun, or like the moon.

  2. قَبّلَته فَبدا في وَجهِهِ

    عارِضاه بَهجة في النّظرِ

    She kissed him, and upon his face appeared

    the down on both his cheeks, a delight to behold.

  3. دَخلَ البدرُ بِكَفّيها فَقَد

    عَلِمته بِالطرازِ الأَخضَرِ

    The full moon entered her two palms; indeed,

    she recognized him by the green embroidered border.
