1. We understood from your words what you have said
And we searched for who we love when the matter became clear
١. فهمنا من التصريح ما قد ذكرته
وبحنا بمن نهوى متى اتضح الأمر
2. You named her, named her the daughter of the Messenger, for her is passion
And her rule in what she desired of love and poetry
٢. سماها سمى بنت الرسول لها الصب
وحكمها فيما تشا الحب والتشعر
3. The youth's passion was killing him with love
And nothing missed him, not an arm's length or a handspan
٣. زمام الهوى قتّاله الصبا بالهوى
وما فاتها منه ذراع ولا شبر
4. And does the daytime ever need for us
A guide? There is no doubt when dawn breaks
٤. وهل قط يحتاج النهار لنا إلى
دليل ولا شك إذا طلع الفجر
