1. وَبِيِ مَائِسٌ لَوْلاَ بَنَفْسَجُ خَالِهِ

    وَآسُ عِذَارَيْهِ وَوَرْدُ خُدُودِهِ

    And I am smitten with a swaying beloved—but for the violet of his mole,

    and the myrtle of his sideburns and the roses of his cheeks,

  2. لَمَا هَامَ قَلْبِي بِالْعَقِيقِ وَبَانِهِ

    وَلاَ ضَلَّ طَرْفِي فِي الحِمَى وَزَرُودِهِ

    my heart would not have yearned for al-Aqiq and its bān trees,

    nor would my gaze have strayed in al-Hima and its Zarud.
