1. حكمةُ اللهِ في القلوبِ فما

    ترحمنا عينُهُ من الحورِ

    God's wisdom lies in hearts; yet

    His eye, with its striking black-and-white beauty, shows us no mercy.

  2. وما أرى قلبهُ يرقُ لنا

    كأنما قلبهُ من الحجرِ

    Nor do I see his heart grow tender toward us,

    As though his heart were made of stone.

  3. يا فاتنَ الناسِ حسنَ صورتهِ

    ما تتقي اللهَ خالقَ الصورِ

    O you whose beautiful form enchants mankind,

    Do you not fear God, the creator of forms?
