A gazelle dividing the thickets

وظبي تقسم الآجال

With eyes that allot among people

لَ بَينَ الناسِ عَيناهُ

In the folds of its heart

٢. وَتوري البَثَّ وَالأَشجا
نَ في القَلبِ ثَناياهُ

3. It describes the full moon and time of darkness
For eyes, its cheeks

٣. وَيَحكي البَدرَ وَقتَ التَم
مِ لِلأَعيُنِ خَدّاهُ

4. Glory to Allah, how beautiful is what
Allah has depicted

٤. تَعالى اللَهُ ما أَحسَ
نَ ما صَوَّرَهُ اللَهُ

5. And if the ideal of beauty were embodied
In a person, it would not surpass Him

نِ شَخصاً ما تَعَدّاهُ

His beauty in this world

٦. لَهُ آخِرَةٌ قَد أَش
بَهَت في الحُسنِ دُنياهُ

One day, we would worship Him

٧. فَلَو أَنّا جَحَدنا اللَ
هَ يَوماً لَعَبَدناهُ

8. By my soul, whoever distracted me
From my eyes and concealed Him

٨. بِنَفسي مَن إِذا ما النَأ
يُ عَن عَينَيَّ واراهُ

9. It suffices me that the wings of night
Cover me and cover Him

٩. كَفاني أَنَّ جُنحَ اللَي
لِ يَغشاني وَيَغشاهُ
