1. O you whose beauty draws all glances toward you
Whose charm wins over all discerning eyes
١. يا واحِدَ الحُسْنِ الَّذي لِجَمَالِهِ
تُثْنى إِلَيْهِ أَعِنَّةُ الأَبْصارِ
2. I seek refuge in Him who created this passion
And those enraptured souls made free
٢. إِنِّي أُعِيذُكَ بالَّذي خَلَقَ الهَوى
والعاشِقينَ تَمَلُّكَ الأَحْرارِ
3. Your face seems like mercy amid wrath
A garden blooming in the flames
٣. وكَأنَّ وَجْهَكَ نِعْمَةٌ في نقْمَةٍ
لِلنَّاظِرينَ وَجَنَّةٌ في نارِ
4. As if the line of your downy cheek
Were night gleaming in the light of day
٤. وكَأَنَّ خَطَّ عِذارِهِ في خَدِّهِ
لَيْلٌ تَأَلَّقَ في بَياضِ نهارِ
