1. يا كامِلَ الحُسن لَم توجد مَحاسِنه

    في مَن سِواهُ فَسُبحانَ الَّذي خَلَقا

    O you of perfect beauty, whose charms have never been found

    In anyone else—glory be to the One who created him!

  2. أَنعِمْ بِوَصْلي فَإِنَّ الهَجرَ أَتلَفَني

    وَلَم يَدع بيَ يا روحَ الحَشا رَمَقا

    Be gracious and unite with me, for separation has destroyed me

    And left no breath of life in me, O soul of my heart.

  3. فَقالَ وَصْلي مُحالٌ عَنكَ مُمتَنِع

    لَكِن سَأَملأُ مِن حُسني لكَ الحَدَقا

    Then he said, 'Union with me is impossible, withheld from you;

    But I shall fill your eyes with my beauty.'

  4. أَرانِيَ الوَجهَ تَعلوهُ مَحاسِنُهُ

    حالاً خَررت لَدى أَن شمتهُ صَعِقا

    He showed me his face, crowned with its charms;

    At once, on beholding it, I fell down thunderstruck.
