1. يا درَّ ثغر حبيبي

    أشرقت حسناً وسيما

    O pearl of my beloved’s mouth,

    You have shone in beauty, fair to behold.

  2. لقد هتكت اللالي

    كن بالعقيق رحيما

    You have indeed put the pearls to shame;

    Be merciful to the carnelian.

  3. ولا تشق عليه

    اذا انجليت بسما

    And do not be harsh with it

    When you reveal yourself in a smile.

  4. هبه الضياء بلطف

    الم يجدك يتيما

    Grant it light gently—

    Did it not find you an orphan?
