قالوا الْتحى ومَحا الإلهُ جَمالَهُ

وكَساهُ ثوبَ مذلّةٍ ومَحاقِ

They said he was shamed and God erased his beauty

And clothed him in a garment of disgrace and erasure

كتبَ الزمانُ على محاسِنِ خَدِّهِ

هَذا جَزاءُ مُعذِّبِ العُشّاقِ

Time wrote on the apples of his cheek

This is the reward of the tormentor of lovers
