شدَّ زُنَّارَهُ عَلى هَيَفِ الخَصْ

رِ وشَدَّ القلوبَ بِالزنَّارِ

He tightened his belt around the saddlebags

And captured hearts with his belt

وأَدارَ الأَصْداغَ فوقَ عِذارٍ

أَنا في حُبِّهِ خليعُ العِذارِ

And turned his cheeks above the excuse

I am shameless in my love for him

وَتَبَدَّى بِطُرَّةٍ تُخْجِلُ البَدْ

رَ ووجْهٍ يفوقُ شَمْسَ النَّهارِ

And appeared with a innocence that shames the full moon

And a face that outshines the sun

فَتَأَمَّلْتُ وَجهَهُ فَتَنَزَّهَ

تُ بِهِ في حَدائِقِ الأَزْهارِ

So I looked upon his face and was transported

By it among the gardens of flowers

وَتَعجَّلْتُ جَنَّةَ الخُلْدِ لَمَّا

صَحَّ عَزْمي عَلى دُخُولِ النَّارِ

And I raced toward the eternal garden when

My resolve to enter the fire grew firm
