1. قد لبسَ الدهرُ حسنَ زهوتِهِ

    مذ زُوِّجَ المُشتري بزهرَتِهِ

    Time has donned the beauty of its splendor,

    Since Jupiter was wed to his Venus.

  2. وفي اقترانِ العينِ ما فيه من

    إشراقِ وجهِ العُلى ونضْرَتِهِ

    And in the eye's conjunction there is

    The radiance of glory's face and its freshness.

  3. فالطَّرفُ مستأنِسٌ بقُرَّتِهِ

    والقلبُ يُطْوى على مَسَرَّتِهِ

    So the gaze takes comfort in its delight,

    And the heart is folded around its joy.
