1. God has honored the helpers of the eyes
And made eternal the rule of those eyelids
١. أَعزَّ اللَّهُ أَنْصارَ العُيونِ
وَخَلَّدَ مُلْكَ هَاتِيكَ الجُفُونِ
2. And with languor doubled their power
And renewed the blessing of protected beauty
٢. وَضاعَفَ بالفُتُورِ لَهَا اقْتِداراً
وَجَدَّد نِعْمَةَ الحُسْنِ المَصُونِ
3. And perpetuated the state of tenderness in us
Even if rancor flows in my heart
٣. وَأَبْقى دَوْلَة الأَعْطَافِ فِينَا
وَإِنْ جَارَتْ على قَلْبِي الطَّعِينِ
4. And poured the shade of that hair from it
Upon a nape adorned by bending branches
٤. وَأَسْبغَ ظِلَّ ذَاكَ الشَّعْرِ مِنْهُ
عَلَى قَدٍّ بِهِ هَيَفُ الغُصُونِ
5. And protected the veil of those cheeks
Even if yearning bowed the heart
٥. وَصانَ حِجابَ هَاتِيكَ الثَّنَايا
وَإِنْ ثَنَتِ الفُؤَادَ إِلَى الشُّجونِ
6. So much in love are those meanings
Even if my tears became like springs
٦. فَكَمْ في الحُبّ مِنْ تِلْكَ المعاني
وَإِنْ جَعلتْ دُمُوعي كالمَعينِ
7. I carried my sleeplessness and this gray hair
On my head and that upon my eyes
٧. حَملتُ تَسهُّدي وَالشّيْبُ هَذا
عَلى رَأْسي وَذَاكَ على عُيُوني
