1. The full moon described your beautiful face until
I imagined I saw you though I did not.
١. وصَفَ البدرُ حُسنَ وَجهكَ حتَّى

2. When the narcissus breathes its delicate breath
I fancy it is your gentle breeze.
٢. وإِذا ما تَنَفَّسَ النَرجِسُ الغَضُّ
تَوَهَّمتُه نسِيمَ شَذاكا
3. Deceitful wishes would have me believe
Your radiance smiles in this, your joy in that.
٣. خُدَعٌ لِلمُنَى تُعلِّلُني مِن

4. While I live I will always wonder about this and that
Since they spoke to me of you.
٤. لأقيمنَّ ما حَيِيتُ على الشُّك
رِ لِهذا وذاكَ إذ حَكياكا
