وشادِنٍ ما مِثلُه في الجِنان

وشادِنٍ ما مِثلُه في الجِنان

قد فاق في الحسن جميعَ الحِسان

قد فاق في الحسن جميعَ الحِسان

And a young gazelle with no equal in Paradise,

With beauty unrivaled in the gardens

And a young gazelle whose like is not in the gardens,

He has surpassed all beauties in beauty.

Surpassing all the beauties there

Who has surpassed in beauty all the fair ones.

لم أرَ إِلا عينَه جَعبَةً

لم أرَ إِلا عينَه جَعبَةً

للسيف والنَّصلِ وحدِّ السِّنان

للسيف والنَّصلِ وحدِّ السِّنان

I have seen only his eye as a quiver

Naught but his alluring eyes I saw

I saw his eye as nothing but a quiver

For the sword, the blade, and the spearhead's point.

Keener than blade, sharper than spearhead's point

For the sword, the blade, and the edge of the spear.
