فديت حبيبا ضرج الحسن وجهه

فصب على خديه ذوب عقيق
I would give my life for a beloved—beauty dyed his face red,
Farewell my love, radiant is his face
then poured molten carnelian over his cheeks.
Melted carnelian poured on his cheeks

يقول لنا هذا أخي وشقيقي
When the embroidered garden beholds his cheek,
When the dewy garden beholds his cheek
it says to us, “This is my brother and my brother by blood.”
It says to me “This, my brother, my twin”
