1. He tightened his belt around the saddlebags
And captured hearts with his belt
١. شدَّ زُنَّارَهُ عَلى هَيَفِ الخَصْ
رِ وشَدَّ القلوبَ بِالزنَّارِ
2. And turned his cheeks above the excuse
I am shameless in my love for him
٢. وأَدارَ الأَصْداغَ فوقَ عِذارٍ
أَنا في حُبِّهِ خليعُ العِذارِ
3. And appeared with a innocence that shames the full moon
And a face that outshines the sun
٣. وَتَبَدَّى بِطُرَّةٍ تُخْجِلُ البَدْ
رَ ووجْهٍ يفوقُ شَمْسَ النَّهارِ
4. So I looked upon his face and was transported
By it among the gardens of flowers
٤. فَتَأَمَّلْتُ وَجهَهُ فَتَنَزَّهَ
تُ بِهِ في حَدائِقِ الأَزْهارِ
5. And I raced toward the eternal garden when
My resolve to enter the fire grew firm
٥. وَتَعجَّلْتُ جَنَّةَ الخُلْدِ لَمَّا
صَحَّ عَزْمي عَلى دُخُولِ النَّارِ
