بكت شجوها الدنيا فلما تبيَّنتْ

مكانَك منها استبشرت وتَغَنَّتِ

The world wept for her sorrows, but when

It saw your place in it, it rejoiced and sang praise,

لتَسْتَمْتِعِ الدنيا بوجهك دهرَها

فقد طالما اشتاقت إليك وحَنَّتِ

So that the world may delight in your face forever,

For so long has it yearned for you and lamented.
