هتَكَ الحِجابَ عَنِ الضمائرْ

طَرْفٌ به تُبْلى السرائرْ

You unveiled the veils from hearts,

With a glance that wears down secrets.

يَرْنُو فَيَمْتَحنُ القُلو

ب كَأَنَّهُ في القَلبِ نَاظِرْ

Your eyes wander and test hearts,

As if you're gazing inside the heart.

يا ساحِراً مَا كُنْتُ أَعْ

رِفُ قَبْلهُ في الناسِ ساحِرْ

O bewitcher, before you I never

Knew of a bewitcher among people.

أَقْصَيْتَني مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا

أَدْنَيْتني فالقلْبُ طائِرْ

You drew me close then distanced me,

So now my heart is left fluttering.

وَغَرَرْتَنِي وَزَعَمْتَ أنْ

نَكَ لابنٌ في الصَّيْفِ تامِرْ

You deceived me and claimed to be

A ripe date in summer, fresh and tender.
