1. God has formed her and designed her
Whether you meet her or not, you see her
١. اللَهُ صَوَّرَها وَصَيَّرَها
لاقَتكَ أَو لَم تَلقَها تَرَها
2. A spectacle for your eyes; you see no beauty
That you do not liken her to
٢. نُصباً لِعَينِكَ لا تَرى حَسَناً
إِلا ذَكَرتَ بِهِ لَها شَبَها
3. Indeed I fear to put her before me
And I dislike to put her behind me
٣. إِنّي لَأُشفِقُ أَن أُقَدِّمَها
قَبلي وَأَكرَهُ أَن أُؤَخِّرَها
