1. رَقَصوا فَشاهَدتُ الجِبالَ تَمورُ

    بِروادِفٍ ما جَت بِهِنَّ خُصورُ

    They danced, and I saw the mountains heave,

    With buttocks upon which waists swayed.

  2. وَثَنوا قُدوداً رَخصَةً فَكَأَنَّما

    هَزّوا غُصوناً فَوقَهُنَّ بُدورُ

    And they bent their supple figures, as though

    They shook branches with full moons above them.

  3. مِن كُلِّ مَجدولِ القَوامِ كَأَنَّما

    في الوَجهِ مِنهُ رَوضَةٌ وَغَديرُ

    Each one well-knit in form, as though

    In his face were a garden and a pool.

  4. طوراً يُغيرُ عَلى القُلوبِ قَوامُهُ

    مَرَحاً وَطَوراً لِلغُصونِ يُغيرُ

    At times his figure raids hearts,

    Playfully, and at times it makes the branches jealous.
