نَظَرتُ لِروفائِيلَ يَخطُرُ رافِلاً

بِحُلَّةِ مَجدٍ زانَها حُسنُ خَلقِه

I gazed upon Raphael pacing gracefully

In robes of glory, adorned by his noble spirit

فَشَبَّهتُهُ بَدراً زَها في كَمالِهِ

وَلَكِنَّهُ يَمتازُ عَنهُ بِخَلقِه

I compared him to a full moon in its perfection

Yet he was distinguished from it by his character
