When Saad al-Din's excuse appeared

عذار سعد الدين لما بدا

1. When Saad al-Din's excuse appeared
Like the full moon at its peak of perfection

١. عِذار سعد الدين لَمّا بَدا
كَهالة البَدر بِأَوج الكَمال

2. A line shone for us like the star Aldebaran
An example of beautiful light

٢. لاحَ لَنا سَطراً بطرس البها
كآية النور بَديع المِثال

3. Thus it became a protection and shield from
The evil eye, even if it came with permitted sorcery

٣. فَكانَ حرزاً وَوقاءً مِن ال
عين وَلَو جاءت بسحر حَلال

4. The maidens were confused by his beauty, so
The most gentle thing they said, those with coyness

٤. حارَت بِهِ الحور جَمالاً فَما
ألطف ما قالتَ ذَوات الدَلال

5. With the pen of destiny it recorded, not
With musk, Saad inscribed the protection of beauty

٥. بِقَلَم القُدرة أَرّخَت لا
بِالمسك خطَّ السَعدُ حرزَ الجَمال
