Roses remind me of his cheeks

تورد خديه يذكرني الوردا

1. Roses remind me of his cheeks
And I've seen nothing lovelier in form or stature

١. تَورُّدُ خدَّيْه يذكِّرني الورْدا
ولم أر أحلى منه شكلاً ولا قدَّا

2. I saw in his cheeks water and greenness
So fresh the meadow and sweet the roses

٢. وأبصرتُ في خدَّيْهِ ماءً وخضرةً
فما أملح المرعى وما أعذب الوِرْدا

3. As if Pleiades were hung on his forehead
And the full moon in his neck made a necklace

٣. كأن الثريّا عُلِّقَتْ في جبينه
وبدر الدُّجى في النحر صيغ له عِقْدا

4. The daylight sun gave him her radiance
In the garb of beauty he dons excellence

٤. وأهدَتْ له شمسُ النهار ضياءها
فمرَّ بثوب الحُسْن مرتدياً بُردا

5. And I've seen no one in my misery like him
I was satisfied with him as my master, but he was not satisfied with me as his servant

٥. ولم أر مثلي في شقائي بمثله
رضيتُ به مولى ولم يرض بي عبدا
