تَروم حبة قلب وَهي لؤلؤة

وَالقَلب آتيكَ مُشتاقاً بحبته

You desire a heart's seed though it is a pearl

And the heart comes to you, longing with its seed

لما حَكَت مِنكَ نور البشر قَد جَعَلت

فَوق الفُؤادِ لنحكى حسن طَلعَتِهِ

When the light of humanity narrated from you

It made above the heart so we narrate its beauty's rising

لَو رَمت روحي لَجاءَت وَهي ساعِيَة

اِلى مُناها الَّذي تَهفو لِرُؤيَتِه

If you had desired my soul, it would have come hastily

To its refuge which it yearns to see
