بَهَرتِ جَمالاً فَرُعتِ البَصَر

بَهَرتِ جَمالاً فَرُعتِ البَصَر

وَذُبتُ سَقاماً فَفُتُّ النَظَر

وَذُبتُ سَقاماً فَفُتُّ النَظَر

You dazzled with beauty and awed the eye.

Your beauty stunned me, so I averted my eyes,

And I wasted away with sickness, eluding sight.

And I melted with illness, so my gaze was scattered.

فَصِرتُ إِذا أَمكَنَت لُقيَةٌ

فَصِرتُ إِذا أَمكَنَت لُقيَةٌ

أُريكِ السُهى وَتُريني القَمَر

أُريكِ السُهى وَتُريني القَمَر

So now, whenever a meeting is possible,

So I become, whenever a meeting was possible,

I show you al-Suha, and you show me the moon.

You show me the Pleiades, and you show me the moon.
