يا مَنْ تعجَّب في اصْطِبارْ

يا مَنْ تعجَّب في اصْطِبارْ

عُشَّاقِهِ عَنْهُ وحارْ

عُشَّاقِهِ عَنْهُ وحارْ

O you who marveled at the endurance

O you who are surprised at the patience of his lovers about him, and confused

Of his lovers without him, and were bewildered:

After intelligence has darkened and the night disturbed the day

مِنْ بَعْدِ ما كَسَفتْ ذُكا

مِنْ بَعْدِ ما كَسَفتْ ذُكا

ءُ وأزْعَجَ اللَّيْلُ النَّهارْ

ءُ وأزْعَجَ اللَّيْلُ النَّهارْ

After the sun was eclipsed

When the fragrance of your cheek's rose garden appeared, the aroma of passion

And night drove day away,

The peacock of beauty was startled, so it spread its wings and flew

لَمّا بَدا في رَوْض خَدْ

لَمّا بَدا في رَوْض خَدْ

دَيكَ النَّدِيْ صِلُّ العِذار

دَيكَ النَّدِيْ صِلُّ العِذار

When, in the garden of your cheeks—

Thus, the flying hearts to it, dwelling with it settled

Dewy—the serpent of cheek-down appeared,

ارتاعَ طاوُوسُ الجما

ارتاعَ طاوُوسُ الجما

ل فَمَدَّ أجْنِحةً وطارْ

ل فَمَدَّ أجْنِحةً وطارْ

The peacock of beauty took fright,

Spread its wings, and flew away;

فَلِذا القُلوبُ الطَّائِرا

فَلِذا القُلوبُ الطَّائِرا

تُ إليْهِ قَرَّ بِها القَرارْ

تُ إليْهِ قَرَّ بِها القَرارْ

And so the hearts that flew

Toward him found their rest.
