سَجَدَ الجَمالُ لِحُسنِ وَج

هِكَ وَاِستَراحَ إِلى جَمالِك

The camels bowed to the beauty of your face

Beauty bowed down before the splendor of your

And found rest in your beauty

face, and found its rest within your beauty.

وَتَشَوَّقَت حورُ الجِنا

نِ مِنَ الخُلودِ إِلى مِثالِك

The maidens of Paradise yearned

And the Houris of the Gardens have yearned

To leave eternity for your ideal

since eternity to behold your likeness.

فَعَشِقتُ وَجهَكَ إِذ رَأَي

تُكَ وَاِعتَمَدتُ عَلى وِصالِك

So I fell in love when I saw you

So I loved your face the moment I saw

And depended on our union

you, and I relied upon your union.

يا ظالِمي لَيسَ المُحِب

بُ وَإِن تَجَلَّدَ مِن رِجالِك

O you who wrong me, the lover

O my tyrant, the lover is surely not,

Is not, even if he endures, one of your men

for all his patience, one of your men.
