عَيْني لِخَيَالِ زائرٍ مُشْبِهَهُ

قرّتْ فَرَحاً فديتُ مَنْ وَجَّهَهُ

My eyes welcomed a visitor's image

With joy - I'd sacrifice myself for the one who sent him.

قَدْ وَحَّدُه قلبي وما شَبَّهَهُ

طَرفي فلِذَا في حسنِهِ نَزّهَهُ

My heart has become one with him though he hasn't become one with it.

My eyes thus attributed beauty to him out of their own imagination.
