أحبُّ لوجنتيهِ الجمرتين

وهمتُ لثغرِهِ بالأبرقينِ

I love his two burning coals for cheeks

And I desired to kiss his two lightning bolt lips

وأُعْذَرُ في عذارِيهِ لأني

أورِّي عنها بالرقمتينِ

And I excuse my reproaches because

I show them with two foxgloves

رآهُ مجرَّداً يوماً عذولي

فما عَرَفَ النضارَ من اللجينِ

One day he saw me barefaced

So he didn’t recognize the radiance from the mud

سوابقُ أدمعي لمَّا جفاني

جرتْ فتعثَّرتْ بالمحجرينِ

My precedenting tears when they dried from me

Flowed so they stumbled over my two eyelids

هواهُ أفادَني شيباً وسهداً

حملْتهما على رأسي وعيني

His love granted me gray hair and wakefulness

I carried them on my head and my eyes

ورايةُ حسنِهِ خفقَتْ كقلبي

فهنُّوهُ بملكِ الخافقينِ

And the flag of his beauty fluttered like my heart

So congratulate him with the king of the fluttering
