Prone I 'neath those golden anklets which thy silvern limbs do wear;

Think not I am like thy fillet, empty of thy grace, O fair!

Rather to the golden chain, which hangs thy cheek round, me compare:

In my sad heart pangs a thousand from thy glance's shafts are found.

Eyes with antimony darkened, hands with henna crimson dyed;

Through these beauties vain and wanton like to thee was ne'er a bride.

Bows of poplar green, thy painted brows; thy glances shafts provide.

Poor Fuzuli for thine eyes and eyebrows aye hath longing cried:

That the bird from bow and arrow flees not, well may all astound.
