1. طَلَعَتْ لَهُ وَاللَّيلُ دامِسْ

    شَمْسٌ تَجلَّتْ في حَنادسْ

    There rose for him, while the night was pitch-black,

    A sun that shone forth amid deep darkness.

  2. تَخْتالُ في لِينِ المجا

    سِدِ بَينَ حارِسَةٍ وحارِسْ

    She sways proudly in soft gar-

    ments, between a female guard and a male guard.

  3. يا مَنْ بِبَهْجَةِ وَجْهِهِ

    يَسْتَأْسِرُ البَطَلُ المُمارِسْ

    O you, whose radiant face

    Makes the seasoned warrior surrender!

  4. لم يَبْق مِنْ قَلبي سِوَى

    رَسمٍ تَغَيَّرَ فَهْوَ دارِسْ

    Nothing remains of my heart but

    A trace, altered and now effaced.
