يقابل بدر التم منه بطلعةٍ

هي البدر لكن حسنها منه اشهر

The full moon rises to face it with a smile,

Though it's the moon, its beauty comes from Him.

وفي خده وردٌ وفي الروض مثله

ولكن ما تحت النواظر أنضر

On His cheek a rose, and the garden holds its like,

But what's beneath His gaze is yet more green.
