1. قل للمليحة مالها

    بعدت عن النظر الشفيق

    Say to the lovely woman: what ails her,

    that she has withdrawn from the tender gaze?

  2. هجرت مكاناً لم يكن

    يوماً بها أبداً يضيق

    She forsook a place that had never

    been too narrow for her, even for a day.

  3. شفقية الخدين

    والثغر المعنبر بالرحيق

    Her cheeks are twilight-red,

    and her mouth amber-scented with nectar.

  4. يا ليت شانيها يجا

    زى بالبعاد عن الصديق

    Oh, would that her hater were repaid

    with separation from the friend!

  5. يا حسنها بين البنا

    ت وكلهن لها رفيق

    Oh, how lovely she is among the girls,

    and all of them are her companions!

  6. عيني تأمل حسنها

    إذ غير ذلك لا يليق

    My eye, contemplate her beauty,

    for nothing else is fitting.

  7. إن الجمال دواء دا

    ئك فليكن منك اللصيق

    Indeed, beauty is the cure for your ailment;

    so let it be inseparable from you.
