1. ومولد للترك تحسب وجهه

    بدراً يضيء سناه بالأشراق

    And a youth of mixed Turkish descent, whose face you would deem

    a full moon, its radiance shining brightly.

  2. أرخى على عينيه فضل وقاية

    ليرد فتنتها عن العشاق

    He let the loose end of a veil fall over his eyes,

    to keep their enchantment away from lovers.

  3. تاللَه لو أن السوابغ دونها

    نفدت فهل لوقاية من واق

    By God, were full coats of mail set against that enchantment,

    they would be exhausted—so is there any protector for a veil?
