1. العينُ لا تنفكُّ من نَظرٍ

    والقلبُ لا ينفك من وطرِ

    The eye never ceases looking,

    And the heart never ceases desiring.

  2. ومحاسنُ الأشياءِ فيك معاً

    فملالِتيكَ ملالتي بصري

    And the beauties of things are gathered together in you,

    So to tire of you is to tire of my own sight.

  3. مُتعاتُ وجهك في بديهتها

    جُددٌ وفي أعقابها الأُخَر

    The delights of your face, at their first appearance,

    Are fresh, and others follow in their wake.

  4. فكأن وجهك من تجدُّده

    متنقلٌ للعينِ في صور

    So it is as though your face, through its renewal,

    Shifts before the eye from form to form.
