حَسناءُ قَد كَمُلَتْ في حُسن صورَتها

فَحُسْنُها لم يَحزهُ قطُّ تَحسين

A beauty whose perfection in her form is complete

Her beauty was never in need of any improvement

فالخدُّ والصّدغُ إذ تبدو وَمَبْسمُها

وردٌ وآس وريحانٌ وَنَسرينُ

Her cheek and temple when visible and her smile

Are a rose, myrtle, basil and eglantine

الغُصنُ يُعْهَدُ في البُستان مَغْرِسُه

وهذه غُصُنٌ فيه بَساتينُ

A branch is known for where it is planted in an orchard

While she is a branch in whom are gardens

راشت لواحِظُها نَبلاً فَحاجِبُها

قوسٌ على أنّهُ بالموت مَقرونُ

Her glances gathered glory so her eyebrows

Are a bow as though paired with death
