1. وَعارَضنَ بِالعِقيانِ كُلَّ مُفَلَّجٍ

    بِهِ الظَلمُ لَم تُفلَل لَهُنَّ غُروبُ

    And they set pure gold beside each mouth with spaced teeth,

    Within it a moist sheen, their tooth-edges unchipped.

  2. رُضابٌ كَريحِ المِسكِ يَجلو مُتونَهُ

    مِنَ الضَروِ أَو فَرخِ البَشامِ قَضيبُ

    Saliva like the scent of musk; its surfaces are polished

    By a terebinth twig or a young balsam shoot.
