ماذا على ذي الحسن لو

أفضى إلى إحسانه

What might the handsome do

If he graced with his kindness

ملكَ الملاح كما ترى

والكلّ من غلمانه

The king of beauty that you see

With all his youths in attendance

يرنو ويشرق حسنه

في ناظري ولهانه

His beauty shines and glows

Before my eyes that melt for him

فهو الغزالة والغزا

ل بعينه وعيانه

He is the doe and the prey

With his eyes and directly
