قد قلتُ لِسِحْرِ طَرْفهِ إذْ نَفَثَا

من شاهدٍ إذا في أهلِه مَا لَبِثَا

I said to the magic of his glance, when he let loose

From an onlooker, had he tarried among his family,

إذ يكْسِر جَفْنَيْه لكي يَعْبَثَ بي

سُبْحانَك ما خلقْتَ هذا عَبَثَا

When he flutters his eyelids to toy with me,

Glory to You! You did not create this in vain.
