إِنَّ اِسمَ حُسنٍ لِوَجهِها صِفَةٌ

وَلا أَرى ذا في غَيرِها اِجتَمَعا

The name Husn describes her beauty truly

The name 'Husn' is truly a description of her face,

And I see no other who such grace can claim

A union of traits I see gathered in no one else.

فَهيَ إِذا سُمِّيَت فَقَد وُصِفَت

فَيَجمَعُ اللَفظُ مَعنَيَينِ مَعا

So when she's named, she's also described

Thus, whenever she is named, she is described,

The word conveys two meanings, one the same

For the word combines two meanings together as one.

إِنَّ بِشَطِّ الفُراتِ لي سَكَناً

يَبلُغُ غَيظي بِكُلِّ ما وَسِعا

Beside Euphrates' shore I have a home

Indeed, by the banks of the Euphrates, I have a beloved,

That soothes my rage with all it can contain

Who strives to provoke my rage with all her might.

يُلصِقُ أَنفي بِكُلِّ مُرغَمَةٍ

وَلا يَراني عَلَيهِ مُمتَنِعا

My nose pressed to each sweetest flower

She rubs my nose in the dust of humiliation,

Yet no one sees me there disdain

Yet never finds me resisting her will.
