مهْما جرَتْ في أُذُني لَفْظَةٌ

ودِدْتُ لوْ كانَتْ ثَناءً عَليْكْ

No matter what words may reach my ears,

I wish they were praise for you.

أو ذُكِرَتْ عنْ شَفَةٍ قُبْلَةٌ

لمْ أرْضَها يوْماً سِوى في يَدَيْكْ

Or if a kiss were mentioned from any lips,

I would never approve of it, except from your hands.

أوْ كانَ لي في نِعَمِ اللهِ منْ

تَحَكُّمٍ حُطّتْ جَميعاً لَدَيْكْ

Or if I had any power over God's blessings

They would all be placed before you.
