يا لؤلؤاً يَسْبي العقولَ أَنِيقا

وَرَشاً بَتقطيعِ القُلوبِ رَفيقا

O pearl that captivates minds with elegance

And a thread that gently pulls at hearts

ما إِنْ رأَيْتُ وَلا سَمْعتُ بِمِثلهِ

دُرّاً يعودُ مِنَ الحياءِ عَقيقا

I’ve never seen nor heard of anything like it

A jewel that shyly blushes coral red

وإذا نَظرتَ إِلى محاسنِ وجههِ

أبصَرْتَ وجْهَكَ في سَناهُ غَريقا

And when you look upon his beautiful face

You see your face drowning in his radiance

يَا منْ تَقَطعَ خَصْرُهُ مِنْ رقَّةٍ

مَا بالُ قَلْبِكَ لا يَكُونُ رَقِيقا

O you whose waist is softly slender

Why is not your heart tender?
