1. The sun of adornment peered out from behind the veil
Her eyes commanded the captivation of hearts
١. شَمسُ دَجنٍ تَطَلَّعَت مِن قَضيبِ
أَمَرَت عَينَيها بِسَبيِ القُلوبِ
2. If only the veil would lift from the face of the sun and the full moon
Content with the radiance of sunset
٢. لَو تَحُلُّ القِناعَ لِلشَمسِ وَالبَد
رِ ضِياءً تَقَنَّعا بِغُروبِ
3. I am wounded by the glance of her eyelashes
I heal myself with tears and lament
٣. أَنا مِن لَحظِ مُقلَتَيهِ جَريحٌ
أَتَداوى بِعَبرَةٍ وَنَحيبِ
4. The scorching of passion and love persists
My torn garments cry out over me
٤. حُرَقُ الشَوقِ وَالهَوى يَتَصا
رَخنَ عَلَيَّ مُشَقَّقاتِ الجُيوبِ
