منظر فاتن وتُحجَب عنّا

بين أثناء درعها مَحبورا

A charming sight hidden from us

Imprisoned between the folds of her veil

لعبة عُدِّلت فدقَّت وجلَّت

وإذا ما لمستَها فحريرا

A game arranged and knocked over

And if you touch it, it's silk

قدَّر اللّه حسنها فتناهَى

ويدُ اللَه تحسن التقديرا

God destined her beauty to seduce

And God's hand makes good on destiny

ما رآها امرؤ به طائفٌ لل

هَمِّ إلا انكفا بها مسرورا

No man who saw her was left

With worries, only joy in her company

وإخال الضرير لو قابلتْهُ

عاد من نورها الضرير بصيرا

Even a blind man, were she to meet him

Would regain his sight from her radiance
