خَلَع الجمالُ على عِذاركَ خِلعةً

خَلَعت قلوبَ العاشقين غَراماً

Beauty adorned your excuse with a robe

And disrobed the hearts of lovers with passion

قد تم حسنُك بالعِذارِ فَمَن رأى

قمراً يكون له الكُسُوفُ تماماً

For your beauty was perfected by the excuse

To one who saw a moon eclipsed completely
