1. I am a slave to a perfect rectangle
His beauty is absolute, admitting no detail
١. أَنا عَبدٌ لِمالِكٍ مُستَطيلِ
حُسنُهُ جُملَةٌ بِلا تَفصيلِ
2. Beauty has clothed him in a mantle
In which there is no variety of beauty
٢. قَد كَساهُ الجَمالُ مِنهُ رِداءً
لَيسَ فيهِ صَنيفَةٌ مِن جَميلِ
3. Whenever I seek deliverance from his hands
My love for him blocks my way
٣. كُلَّما رَمَت مِن يَدَيهِ خَلاصاً
سَدَّ حُبّي لَهُ عَلَيَّ سَبيلي
