بدا فراقَ العيون إذ طَلعا

معَمما بالجمال مُدرَعا

The separation of the eyes began when they rose

Covered in beauty, clad in armor

تبثُّ عيناهُ من فتورهِما

على العيونِ الفتونَ والبِدَعا

Their languor drips

Upon the charming, wondrous eyes

ظَبيٌ بدينِ المسيح مُتصِلٌ

فبثهُ أهلُ دينهِ وَرَعا

A gazelle in the religion of Christ attached

So his people instilled in him piety

لو أدركَ اللاحظونَ صورتَهُ

يوماً لقالوا المسيحُ قد رَجَعا

If the observers had seen his image

One day they would have said Christ has returned
