بروحي من أضحى له الحسن عسكراً

حوى كلّ قاصٍ في الجمال وداني

My soul has become an army for the one whose beauty conquered me

It has defeated all the storytellers in charm and brought them near

فيا لحظه الماضي وأحمر خدّه

رفيقك قيسيّ وأنت يماني

Oh moment of the past and the redness of his cheek

He is your beloved Qais and you are the one from Yemen
