1. حلَّ مِن القلبِ في الصَّميمِ

    محلَّ مستوطنٍ مُقيمِ

    He settled in the heart’s innermost core,

    As a settled resident, there to stay,

  2. حيثُ اشتكى سهمَ مقلتهِ

    بالسقمِ من لحظهِ السقيمِ

    Where it suffered from the arrow of his eye,

    Sickened by his languishing glance.

  3. مَن حلَّ حسناً بِدون حتى

    دقّ عن الحسنِ والنسيمِ

    He who dwelt in beauty, without [unclear], until

    He grew subtler than beauty and the breeze.

  4. تعرفُ في صبغِ وجنتيهِ

    ووجههِ نضرةٌ النعيمِ

    You discern in the hue of his two cheeks

    And his face the radiance of bliss.
