جاءتْ بقَدٍّ كالقَضيبِ غدا

بلَواحظِ العُشّاقِ مُنْتَطِقا

She came with a slender figure in the morning

Captivating the eyes of lovers with her talk

وبدَتْ وقد أبدَتْ مَحاسِنَها

خَمْساً تُبيِّنُ عُذْرَ مَنْ عَشِقا

And she revealed her beauty

Five things that explain the passion of her lover

ليلاً على صُبْحِ على قَمَرٍ

في غُصْنِ بانٍ في كثيبِ نَقا

A night lit by the moonlight

On a blossoming branch, on a sandy dune

ونَواظراً مَخْلوقةً فِتَناً

قطَعتْ على أبصارِنا الطُّرُقا

And glances created as temptation

That blocked our sight along the paths
