حبي انجلى جماله وقد حان وصاله

I see his perfection in my mirror, his image

أراني كماله بمرآتي مثاله

With his cup giving me life, its draft purified

بكاسه لي حيا وقد صفا جرياله

May you lose your children if you but knew the love of the Majestic Glory

ثكلتك لو تدري هوى جلا جلاله

My heaven with my sought one is a fire flaming within it

5. Reprove my playful critic justly, with no fault to be set right
What can the critic do, when all is His doing?

My foolish critic, misled in his error

The lover hears nothing, no matter how the critic complains

فذو الهوى لا يسمع مهما لغت عذّاله

8. How can the enamored listen to a critic who knows nothing
Of the beauty that has enthralled all creation in its allure?

جمال الّذي تيّمْ كلّ الورى جماله

At the Lote-Tree of the Limit, his request granted

As long as the south wind blows, my love revealed his beauty
