إِنّي عَجِبتُ لِصَبٍّ مِن مَحاسِنِهِ

إِنّي عَجِبتُ لِصَبٍّ مِن مَحاسِنِهِ

تَختالُ ما بَينَ أَزهارٍ وَبُستانِ

تَختالُ ما بَينَ أَزهارٍ وَبُستانِ

I marveled at a lovesick lover, whose charms

I am amazed by a youth whose perfections

make you strut among flowers and a garden.

Strut like flowers and gardens.

فَقُلتُ لا تَعجِبي مِمَّن تَرَينَ فَقَد

فَقُلتُ لا تَعجِبي مِمَّن تَرَينَ فَقَد

أَبصَرتِ نَفسَكَ في مِرآةِ إِنسانِ

أَبصَرتِ نَفسَكَ في مِرآةِ إِنسانِ

So I said, “Do not marvel at the one you see, for indeed

I said, "Do not be amazed by what you see,

you have seen yourself in the mirror of a human being.”

For you have seen yourself in the mirror of a man."
