1. The sun and moon are vexed by her, if only
Their vexations could reach her, it would suffice
١. ضُرَّةٌ للشمسِ والبدرِ فَلَوْ
أدركتْها ضُرتاها ضَرتاها
2. Oh lover, you are blamed for longing after her
If she allowed you her mouth, it would be enough
٢. بكَ يا عاشقُ منها تهمةٌ
لو أباحتْ لكَ فاها لكفاها
3. Your blackness against her fairness is a flaw
If her lips met yours, they would suffice
٣. وسويداؤكَ فيها غلةٌ
لو تدانَتْ شفتاها شفتاها
4. Lower your gaze if you encounter her
Every soul who sees her is destroyed
٤. غُضَّ مِنْ طرفِكَ إنْ قابلْتَها
كلُّ نفسٍ مقلتاها مقتلاها
5. Who hasn't seen her doesn't know safety
Who has seen her knows, has truly seen
٥. ليس يدري الأمنَ مَنْ لم يرها
ودرى مَنْ قَدْ رآها قَدْ رآها
