1. My eyes have never fallen upon a sight
As beautiful as his face, nor one as tall as his stature
١. ما وَقعت عيني على منظرٍ
كوجهِه حُسناً ولا قدِّهِ
2. He who attributes wine to his glances
And markets belong to his cheeks
٢. مَن ينسبُ الخمرُ إلى طرفهِ
وتَنتمي السوقُ إلى خدِّهِ
3. The power of his eyes over my innermost being
Is like the power of the Master over His servant
٣. قدرةُ عينيهِ على مهجتي
كقدرةِ المولى على عبدهِ
4. And his beauty, never before him
Was there beauty, nor will there be after him
٤. وحسنه ما كان من قبله
حسن ولا يحسن مِن بعدهِ
