My face became radiant in the beauty of his face,

تنزه وجهي في محاسن وجهه

1. My face became radiant in the beauty of his face,
A longing one made radiant towards him, downcast.

١. تنزّه وجهي في محاسن وجهه
تَنزُّه مشتاقٍ إليه كئيبِ

2. But when he saw my glance that showed love,
And the yellowness of my complexion after him and my pallor,

٢. فلما رأى لحظي يدُلّ على الهوى
وصَفْرةَ لوني بعده وشحوبي

3. He folded his cheek away from me and recited like one acting a part,
And had no fear of a slanderer on account of me or a watcher.

٣. ثَنَى خدَّه عنّي وقال تَمَّثلاً
ولم يَخْش من واشٍ به ورقيب

4. If you should heal a lover, what ails him
Is cured only by the lip of the beloved.

٤. إذا أنتَ داويتَ المحبَّ فماله
دواءٌ يُواتِيه كثغر حبيب
