جاء الكتابُ فكان لي

مما أُكابِدُهُ مَلاذا

The book came and was for me

A refuge from my troubles

وقرأته فوجدت في

ه لكلِّ معجزةٍ نَفاذا

I read it and found in it

A remedy for every miracle

فأزال نارَ تَأسُّفٍ

عاد الفؤادُ به جُذاذا

It removed the fire of regret

My heart became young again through it

لو قيل لي ما الحُسْن كن

تُ أَفُضُّه وأقول هذا

If it was said to me what is beauty

I would say this
