1. إِنِّي لأَحمَدُ ناظريَّ عَلَيْكا

    حَتَّى أَغُضَّ إِذا نَظرْتُ إِليْكَا

    Indeed, I praise my eyes for beholding you,

    until I lower my gaze when I look at you.

  2. وأَرَاكَ تَخطِرُ شَمَائِلِكَ الَّتِي

    هي فِتْنَتي فأَغَارُ مِنكَ عَلَيْكَا

    And I see you walk with a sway, with those graces of yours that

    are my temptation; so I am jealous over you, even of yourself.

  3. ولَوِ اسْتَطَعْتُ مَنَعْتُ لَفظَكَ غَيْرَةً

    كي لاَ أَراهُ مُقَبِّلاً شَفَتَيْكا

    And if I could, I would restrain your speech out of jealousy,

    so as not to see it kissing your lips.

  4. خلَصَ الهَوَى لَك ،واصْطَفَتْكَ مَوَدَّتي

    حَتَّى أَغارَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ مَلَكيْكَا

    Love is yours alone, and my affection has chosen you,

    until I am jealous over you even of your two angels.
