بنفسي شادن أحسن الله له

وردا يلوح بوجنتيه

With my own self I am happy, may God be good to him

A rose blossoming in his cheeks

مليح قوامه والدلّ والشكل

وطيب الكلام من شفتيه

Handsome is his body, gentleness and shape

And pleasant are the words from his lips

كاتباه تمتّعا منه بالقر

ب فما يكتبا الذنوب عليه

His eyebrows wrote enjoyment from being near

For they do not write sins upon him

هو منّي كالبدر في أفق الجو

و أراه ولا أصير إليه

He is to me like the full moon on the horizon

I see him, but cannot reach him
