ما أبصَرت عَيني بهَا عَينَاكِ

سُبحَانَ خَالِقَى الَّذي سَوَّاكِ

My eyes never saw the like of your eyes,

Glory to my Creator who created you.

يا رَبَّةَ الحُسنِ الَّتي لِجَمالِهَا

تَعنُو بدورُ التَّمِ حينَ تَرَاكِ

O beauty of loveliness that because of her beauty,

Full moons are dimmed when they see you.

غُرَرَ المَحَاسِنِ قَد وُهِبتِ ونِلتِ كُلَّ

الظرف يا لِلّه ما أحلاَكِ

The treasures of beauty have been granted to you all,

What elegance, O Lord, how beautiful you are!

خَلَعَ الجَمالُ عَليكِ أحسنَ مَلبسٍ

مِن فِتنَةٍ يا سَعدَ مَن يَهوَاكِ

Beauty has clothed you in the finest attire,

What bliss for one who loves you!

الرُّمحُ قَدَّكِ ما له مِن طَاقَةٍ

وَالسحرُ فِي أحشائِنا عَينَاكِ

Arrows are blunted by you, they have no power,

Your eyes have cast a spell in our hearts.

وَالخدُّ نَارهُ فِي الحَشا مَوقُودَةٌ

مَوقُودةٌ إن الحَشا مَرعَكِ

Your cheeks, their fire burns brightly in my heart,

Burning brightly, your heart fans their flames.

لَولاَكِ مَا ذقتُ الهَوى وتَزَايدَت

عَنِّي المَصَائِبُ فِي الهوَى لَولاكِ

If not for you, I would not have tasted passion, nor

Would troubles in passion have increased but for you.
