بِروحِيَ ماءُ الحُسنِ راقَ بِوَجهِها

بِروحِيَ ماءُ الحُسنِ راقَ بِوَجهِها

وَمِنها جَرى ماءُ الحَياءِ بِخدَّينِ

وَمِنها جَرى ماءُ الحَياءِ بِخدَّينِ

I would give my soul for the water of beauty that gleamed upon her face.

With my spirit the water of beauty flowed on her face

And from her the water of modesty flowed upon two cheeks.

And from it ran the water of shyness on her cheeks

فَفي وَجهِها شَمسَين قَد شمت إِن بَدَت

فَفي وَجهِها شَمسَين قَد شمت إِن بَدَت

نَهاراً وَإِن لَيلاً أَرى فيهِ بَدرَينِ

نَهاراً وَإِن لَيلاً أَرى فيهِ بَدرَينِ

For in her face I have beheld two suns, if she appears

So on her face are two suns I inhaled when they rose

by day; and if by night, I see in it two full moons.

By day and by night in it I see two moons
