A nymph appeared before us in human form

تراءت لنا حوراء في صورة الإنس

1. A nymph appeared before us in human form
Resembling the sun, though more radiant than the sun

١. تَراءَت لَنا حَوراء في صُورَةِ الإِنسِ
تُشبَّه شَمساً وَهيَ أَبهى من الشَمسِ

2. Each day she wears a new dress
Of beauty that makes her beauty of yesterday fade

٢. لَها كُلُّ يَومٍ حُلَّة مستجِدَّةً
مِنَ الحُسنِ تُنسي صورَةَ الحُسنِ بِالأَمسِ

3. When she appears she reminds us of the nymphs of paradise
But she is manifold more than what she reminds us and makes us forget

٣. تُذَكِّرنا حور الجِنانِ إِذا بَدَت
وَلَكِنَّها أَضعافُ ما ذَكَّرت تُنسي

4. She appeared before us, her figure and her glance were her figure
No sooner did she depart than I wore the robe of longing

٤. تَراءَت لَنا وَالشَكلُ وَالطَرفُ شكلها
فَما بَرَحَت إِلّا وَثوب الضَنا لِبسي
