شدَا شدْوَ الحمام وماسَ غصنا

غني الحسن يطرب إن تغنى

The doves have cooed intensely, and leaned on a branch,

singing beautifully whenever he sings.

فريدٌ وهو فتَّان التثني

فيا لله من فردٍ تثنى

Unique, yet a captivating charmer,

What a singular man with a duplicitous nature!

بغطفٍ مثل منطقه رشيق

ولفظ يعجب الأسماع لحنا

With a gentle demeanor, and eloquent speech,

that delights the ears with its melody.

وشكل معرب عن كلّ حسنٍ

وخصر مثل جسمي فيه مضنى

A graceful form, embodying every beauty,

and a slender waist, drawing me in.

فما أشهى محيَّا منه زاهٍ

ولحظاً ما رمى قلباً فأسنا

How alluring his smile, radiantly beaming,

and a glance that pierces the heart with passion!

وما أشهى عذاراً قد سباني

بحرفٍ جاء في حسنٍ لمعنى

How alluring his coquetry, that has enthralled me

with words of beauty and meaning intertwined.
