A beauty that outshines modesty, how ignorant we were

ذات حسن تسبي النهى كم جهلنا

1. A beauty that outshines modesty, how ignorant we were
Of her worth, the veil hides her from us

١. ذاتَ حُسنٍ تَسبي النُهى كَم جَهِلنا
قَدرَها وَالنِقابَ يَحجِبُ عَنّا

2. Since she unveiled herself and the candles drew near us
She revealed a beauty that dazzled us

٢. مُذ وَفَتِ وَالشُموعُ تَقَرَّبَ مِنّا
أَسفَرَت عَن جَمالٍ فَذَهَلنا

3. And tears flowed from the eyes abundantly
There the sun feels shy of her brilliance

٣. وَاِستَفاضَت مِنَ العُيونِ الدُموعُ
فَإِذا الشَمسُ تَستَحي مِن سَناها

4. And the Pleiades envy her pride
She came towards us, her splendor shone through

٤. وَالثُرَيّا يَجيدُها تَتَباهى
أَقبَلَت نَحوَنا وَلاحَ بَهاها

5. We met with the palms of her hands shining
And the candles felt inadequate next to her bed

٥. فَالتَقَينا بِالراحَتَينِ ضِياها
وَاِستَكفَتهُ بِالفِراشِ الشُموعُ
