وسنٌ بطرفِكَ أم فتورُ

يا أيُّها الرشأ الغريرُ

Is it a youthfulness in your eyes, or indifference,

O sparkling graceful one,

يا من ينيرُ بنورِ بَه

جَةِ وجههِ القَمَر المُنيرُ

O you who illuminates with the light of

The radiant moon of his beautiful face

وبِحسنهِ وبديعِ حُس

نِ قوامهِ الغُصن النضيرُ

And with his beauty and elegant stature,

He is like a slender twig.

إنِّي بحسنكَ من جفا

ئِكَ أستعيذ وأستجيرُ

Indeed, with your beauty, from your cruelty,

I seek refuge and shelter.
