1. يا غرة تسخر بالبدر

    ومقلةً تنفث بالسحر

    O radiant brow that mocks the full moon,

    And an eye that breathes forth enchantment,

  2. ومبسماً نظم من جوهر

    وماوءه من أعطر الخمر

    And a smiling mouth strung from jewels,

    And its moisture from the most fragrant wine;

  3. ومنطقاً أثبت من سحره

    أحر في قلبي من الجمر

    And speech that, through its magic, has planted

    In my heart a heat fiercer than glowing coals;

  4. وشادنا تيمني شخصه

    ووكل الأجفان بالسهر

    And a young gazelle whose form has enslaved me

    And charged my eyelids with sleepless vigil:

  5. تاجر بي اللَه تفز بالرضى

    وتربح الجنة في التجر

    Trade with God through me, and win His favor,

    And earn Paradise in the bargain.
