بأبي محاسن زرتني

وبديعةٍ سلت مزاحي

With the beauty that graced me,

And the playful wit that beguiled,

وخلائق كالنور با

ح بسره نفس الصباح

With virtues bright as the dawn's light,

That gladdens the heart each morn.

وخلائقٍ لو صورت

سكنت أنابيبُ الرماح

With graces that, were they captured in art,

Would reside in the spear's straight frame.

كشفت ضباب حديقتي

وأجابها مزن اقتراحي

You parted the mists in my garden,

And met my request with favor.

فأتت تخايل في نظا

م هز أعطاف ارتياحي

You came to me in my dreams,

Shaking the boughs of my delight.
