1. يا زائراً مَلأَ النَّواظِرَ نُوْراً

    والنَّفْسَ لَهْواً والضُّلُوعَ سُرُورَا

    O visitor who filled the eyes with light,

    And the soul with merriment, and the ribs with joy,

  2. لو أستطيعُ فَرَشْتُ كلَّ مَسَالِكِي

    حَدَقاً وَبِيْضَ سَوَالِفٍ وَنُحُورَا

    If I could, I would carpet all my paths

    With pupils, white sides of necks, and throats.

  3. فيك اكتَسَى جَوِّي سَنَاً وَتَلأْلُؤاً

    وارتدَّ تُرْبِي عَنْبَراً وعَبِيرَا

    Through you, my sky was clothed in radiance and sparkle,

    And my dust turned to ambergris and perfume.
