1. ومستترُ الضياء محج

    جبٌ عن أعينِ البشَرِ

    And one whose radiance is hidden, veil-

    -ed from human eyes.

  2. كأنكَ منهُ حينَ ترا

    هُ بينَ الشمسِ والقَمَرِ

    It is as though, because of him, when you see

    him, you are between the sun and the moon.

  3. أحبُّ إليَّ من قلبي

    ومن سمعي ومن بصري

    Dearer to me than my heart,

    and than my hearing, and than my sight.

  4. أملكُ حبهُ نفسي

    وأرضى منهُ بالنظرِ

    I give his love mastery over my soul,

    and am content with looking at him.
