لبستْ جاريةٌ من يدنا

خرقةً نالت بها عينَ الكمالِ

A maid of ours has donned

A rag with which she attained the height of perfection.

خرقةً دينيةً عُلوية

ألحقتْها بمقاماتِ الرجالِ

A religious, transcendent rag

She has attached to the stations of men.

وكذاك الله قد ألبسها

ثوبَ عزٍّ وقبولٍ وجَمالِ

And thus has God clothed her

In a robe of dignity, acceptance, and beauty,

وضياءٍ وسناءٍ وسنا

واعتدالٍ وبَهاءٍ وجلالِ

And splendor, glory, and brilliance,

And balance, radiance, and majesty.

كلَّما أبصرتُها غيَّبني

ما أرى من حسن دَلٍّ ودلالِ

Whenever I look upon her, she takes me away

From all I see of the charm of curves and allure.

حَفِظَ الله عليها عهدها

وعلينا حفظُها طولَ الليالي

May God preserve her vow

And ours to guard her through the long nights.
