خذوا بدمي لؤلؤَ المبتسمْ

وسحرَ العُيون ونظمَ الكَلِمْ

Take from me the smiling pearl

And the magic of eyes and the rhythm of words

ودونَكُم شادِناً وجهُه

كشَمْس النهار وبدرِ الظُّلَم

His face radiant among you

Like the sun at noon and the full moon at night

له صَوْلَجانٌ كلَوْن الظَّلام

على وَجْنةٍ مثل لونِ العَنَمْ

With hair black as the darkness

On a cheek the color of grapes
