وَوَميضِ ثغرٍ إنّ قوماً قَد رأوا

عَذلي لَفي ظلمِ الجهالةِ قد غووا

And the flash of a smile - for some have seen

My being reviled in the darkness of ignorance

وَوراءَ ستركَ لَو أزيلَ محاسنٌ

تَهديهمُ وأراهمُ هذا نووا

And behind your veil - if the beautiful were revealed

It would guide them, and I would show them this they wish
