وَذي بَهاءٍ بِهِ أُذني لَقَد سَمِعَت

فَهِمتُ سَمعاً أُعاني الشّوقَ وَالقَلقا

A beauty with splendor has graced my ears, for they have heard

And comprehended an audition that has pained me with yearning and disquietude

مُذ صَكَّتِ القلبَ مِن أُذني إِذِ اِستَمَعَت

رِياحُ ذِكرٍ بهاه قلبيَ اِحتَرقا

Since the heart in my ear was branded, when it hearkened

To winds of a remembrance that set my heart aflame
