وَمَعشوقَةِ الحُسنِ مَمشوقَةٍ

وَمَعشوقَةِ الحُسنِ مَمشوقَةٍ

يَهيمُ بِها الطَرفُ وَالمَعطِسُ

يَهيمُ بِها الطَرفُ وَالمَعطِسُ

And a slender one, beloved for her beauty—

And the beloved of beauty, so finely drawn

the eye and nose are enamored of her.

The glance and the admiring eye are rapt with her

لَها نُضرَةٌ سِمتُها نَظرَةً

لَها نُضرَةٌ سِمتُها نَظرَةً

وَتَكلَفُ بِالأَنفُسِ الأَنفُسُ

وَتَكلَفُ بِالأَنفُسِ الأَنفُسُ

Hers is a freshness for which I bid a glance,

She has a bloom whose trait is a glance

and souls are enamored of what is most precious.

And the most precious souls vie for her

فَمِن ماءِ جَفني لَها مَكرَعٌ

فَمِن ماءِ جَفني لَها مَكرَعٌ

فَسيحٌ وَمِن راحَتي مَغرِسُ

فَسيحٌ وَمِن راحَتي مَغرِسُ

So from the water of my eyelid she has a drinking place,

So for her are two pools in my eyes

spacious, and from my palm a planting bed.

A meadow and an orchard in my palm
