1. With my soul, when I saw the apple of his cheek,
And I saw the face of the sun darker and blacker,
١. بروحي من أبصرت صفحة خده
وأبصرت وجه الشمس أغبر أسودا
2. It was as if I saw it without him just as one would see
Anything else when the gaze encounters it, colder
٢. كأني أراها دونه مثلما يرى
سواها إذا ما شامها الطرف أربدا
