مِن مُفتَتَح الدَور إِلى مُختَتَمِه

مِن مُفتَتَح الدَور إِلى مُختَتَمِه

ما كادَ يُرى أَحسَنُ مِن مُبتَسمِه

ما كادَ يُرى أَحسَنُ مِن مُبتَسمِه

From the cycle's beginning to its end,

From the opening of the cycle to its closing

Scarcely has anything fairer than his smile been seen.

There was scarcely seen fairer than his smile

في دائِرَة الحُسن مِن الخَطِّ أَرى

في دائِرَة الحُسن مِن الخَطِّ أَرى

ذا الوَجه يَرى النقطةَ مِن ضيقِ فَمِه

ذا الوَجه يَرى النقطةَ مِن ضيقِ فَمِه

In beauty's circle, outlined by the facial down, I see

In the sphere of beauty, from the line I see

This face, where one sees the dot, so tiny is his mouth.

This face sees a point from the narrowness of his mouth
