1. When his beloved became unattainable
His passion and bewilderment grew
١. وَلَمّا تَعَذَّرَ مَحبوبهُ
بِهِ اِزدادَ وَجداً وَحارْ
2. He put the ring around his neck
As he had decided to unveil his love
٢. وَبادَر في ذَقنِهِ حَلقَها
وَقَد رامَ في العِشقِ تَركَ اِستِتارْ
3. He said, "I put the ring around my neck
For on his cheek I have cast off the veil"
٣. وَقالَ حَلَقت عِذاري لأنّي
عَلى خَدّهِ قَد خَلعت العِذار
