1. A charming sight hidden from us
Imprisoned between the folds of her veil
١. منظر فاتن وتُحجَب عنّا
بين أثناء درعها مَحبورا
2. A game arranged and knocked over
And if you touch it, it's silk
٢. لعبة عُدِّلت فدقَّت وجلَّت
وإذا ما لمستَها فحريرا
3. God destined her beauty to seduce
And God's hand makes good on destiny
٣. قدَّر اللّه حسنها فتناهَى
ويدُ اللَه تحسن التقديرا
4. No man who saw her was left
With worries, only joy in her company
٤. ما رآها امرؤ به طائفٌ لل
هَمِّ إلا انكفا بها مسرورا
5. Even a blind man, were she to meet him
Would regain his sight from her radiance
٥. وإخال الضرير لو قابلتْهُ
عاد من نورها الضرير بصيرا
