1. If his gaze was not magical
No water or fire would show on his cheeks
١. لَو لَم يَكُن ناظِرُهُ ساحِراً
لَم يَبدُ في خَدَّيهِ ماءٌ وَنار
2. Nor would he show us at night his cup
The full moon of the night has gained the sun of day
٢. وَلا أَرانا في الدُجى كَأَسَهُ
بَدرُ الدُجى قَد حازَ شَمسَ النَهار
3. My wings long to flutter for him
My body sits still while my heart takes flight
٣. مُهَفهَفٌ قَصُّ جَناحي لَهُ
أَقعُدَ جِسمي وَفُؤادي أَطار
