1. The beloved of graceful features, so alluring,
Like a full moon above a bough in darkness,
١. وَمَعشوقُ الشَمائِلِ ذي دَلالٍ
كَبَدرٍ فَوقَ غُصنٍ في كَئيبِ
2. As if his cheek were aromatic sabraj,
Oh the vitality and his sweet garden!
٢. كَأَنَّ عَذارَهُ سَبَجٌ رَطيبٌ
عَلى يا قوتِ وَجنَتِهِ الرَطيبِ
3. As if the glances of his eyes were arrows,
Their purpose the hearts' kernels.
٣. كَأَنَّ لِحاظَ مُقلَتِهِ سِهامٌ
مَقاصِدَهُنَّ حَبّاتُ القُلوبِ
