The sun had not trembled before she beheld
The sun had never trembled ere she saw his face,
the full moon of beauty, whom no one could match.
The loveliness of which no tongue can trace.
لَمّاwhen رَأَتهُshe saw him وَشامَتand beheld رُمحَthe spear قامَتِهِof his stature
لَمّا رَأَتهُ وَشامَت رُمحَ قامَتِهِ

مِن حينِ ذا لَم تَزَل في الأفقِ تَرتعدُ
When she saw him and beheld the spear of his stature,
But when she saw him clad in coat of mail,
ever since then, she has kept trembling on the horizon.
Trembling she stood dissolved in deadly pale.
