تخُط يَخُط الشوْقُ في القلْبِ شَخْصَها

ففي كل ما تَأْتِيهِ حُسْنٌ وتَحْسِينُ

Longing draws her figure in the heart

So in all that comes to it there is beauty and elegance

وليسَتْ تُطيقُ الشينَ في حالِ نُطقِها

فمِنْ أجلِ بُعْدِ الشينِ بَاعَدهَا الشيْنُ

Yet she cannot bear the "sh" sound when uttered

So for the sake of avoiding "sh" she distanced it, "sh"

إذا رقَصَتِ أَبْصَرْتَ كل بَديعَةٍ

تَرَى أَلِفًا حينا وحِينًا هي النونُ

When she dances you see every grace

At times appearing as "a", at times she is "n"

فيا نُزْهَةَ الأبْصَارِ سُميت نُزَهةً

لكيْ يُوضِحَ المَعْنى بَيانٌ وتَبْيينُ

O delight of sights, you were named Nuzaḥa

So meaning can be clarified through eloquence and explanation
