1. الخَلقُ تَحسدُني عليهِ

    أو كيفَ آمنهُم عليهِ

    People envy me for him.

    Or how can I trust them with him?

  2. يَبدو فتفضَحُهم عُيو

    نُهُمُ إذا نَظروا إليهِ

    He appears, and their eyes betray them

    when they look at him.

  3. كَم من أسيرٍ في الأنا

    مِ لمُقلتيهِ ووَجنَتيهِ

    How many among humankind are captive

    to his eyes and his cheeks!

  4. إن كانَ أصبحَ في يدي

    يَ فإنَّ قلبي في يَديهِ

    If he is now in my hands,

    then my heart is in his hands.
