أسُعادُ إنّ كمالَ خَلْقِكِ رَاعَني

فرَأيْتُ بدرَ التمّ عَنْهُ ناقِصا

Suaad, truly your perfection has captivated me

So I saw the full moon as incomplete compared to you

أرُضَابُ فيكِ سلافةٌ نَشَوَاتُهَا

يَمشينَ مِن طَرَبٍ بِقَدّكِ راقصا

Your cheeks have a soft glow, their radiance

Walking gracefully with your slender figure

بحرٌ بعيْني لم يزَلْ إنْسانُهَا

فيه على دُرِّ المدامعِ غائصا

An ocean are your eyes that has never ceased

Diving into the pearls of tears

كم أحْوَرٍ لمّا رآكِ رأيتُهُ

يَرْنُو إلى تَفْتِيرِ طرفِكِ شاخصا

How many gazelles when they saw you I saw

Yearning for the fluttering of your eyelids

هل ظنّ ثَغْرَكِ أُقحُواناً ناضراً

ترعاهُ غزلانُ الفلاةِ خمائصا

Did he think your lips were red roses

Grazed upon by the deer of the desert plains

حتَّى إذا لاح ابتسامك يجتلي

دُرّاً على عينيه ولّى ناكصا

Until your smile shone radiantly

Scattering pearls on his eyes so he recoiled

لا تقنصيه كما قنصتِ مُتَيَّماً

فالرّئْمُ لا يغْدو لرِئمٍ قانِصا

Do not reject him as you rejected the lovelorn one

For grief never becomes a remedy for the grieving
