لله ما أظرف ياله فتى

لله ما أظرف ياله فتى

قد أبدع البارى تعالى شكله

قد أبدع البارى تعالى شكله

By God, how charming—what a young man!

How graceful you are, O youth

The Creator, exalted is He, has indeed fashioned his form exquisitely.

The Exalted Creator has made your form excellently

لو كان هذا ولدى وواحدى

لو كان هذا ولدى وواحدى

خرجت قبل الموت من مالي له

I would spend all I have on you before my death
