1. The gardens, you'd think their roses
Were dyed by the wine in his cheeks.
١. وَمُعَندَمِ الوَجَناتِ تَحسِبُ أَنَّهُ
صُبِغَت بُرودُ الوَردِ في وَجَناتِهِ
2. Beauty's symbol - his mole - speaks
So I know the mole is his sign.
٢. مَثُلَ الجَمالُ بِخَدِّهِ مُتَنَبِّئاً
فَشَهِدتُ أَنَّ الخالَ مِن آياتِهِ
3. The dawn sun, his sister, looked at him,
Her signs dimmed by his light.
٣. نَظَرَت إِلَيهِ أُختُهُ شَمسُ الضُحى
وَأَياتُها في النُورِ دُونَ أياتِهِ
4. Her heart caught fire with a gasp
And the blaze shone in his mirror.
٤. فَتَوَقَّدَت أَحشاؤُها مِن زَفرَةٍ
فَبَدا شُعاعُ النارِ في مِرآتِهِ
