1. اقامك الحسن سكراناً بخمرته

    تميل يا ريم ميل الشارب الثمل

    Beauty has made you stand, drunk on its wine.

    You sway, O gazelle, as a drunken drinker sways.

  2. بوجنة من رياض الخلد زاهية

    وطرف عين بكحل السحر مكتحل

    With a radiant cheek from the gardens of eternity,

    And an eye's gaze adorned with the kohl of enchantment.

  3. ودهشة لقلوب العاشقين بدت

    برونق فيه سلطان الجمال جلي

    And wonder appeared to the hearts of lovers,

    With a splendor in which beauty's sovereignty is manifest.

  4. ومنظر يسلب الالباب طالعه

    على صنوف معاني الحسن مشتمل

    And a sight whose appearance steals the wits,

    Encompassing diverse aspects of beauty.

  5. تمشي وتحسبك العشاق من دهش

    بدر السماء اتى يمشي على عجل

    You walk, and lovers in their bewilderment take you for

    The full moon of the sky, come walking in haste.
