1. أَنا في الغُدُوِ وَفي الرَواحِ

    قَلِقٌ عَلى قَلِقِ الوِشاحِ

    Morning and evening, I am

    Restless over one whose sash hangs loose:

  2. ظَبيٌ يُحَبُّ لِأَجلِ ما

    في فيهِ مِن بَرَدٍ وَراحِ

    A gazelle, loved for what

    His mouth holds of hail and wine.

  3. يُحكى العِذارُ بِخَدِّهِ

    لَيلاً تَحَيَّرَ في صَباحِ

    The down on his cheek is likened to

    A night bewildered amid morning.
