حَكَيتَ جِسْمِي تُحُولاً

فهل تعشَّقْتَ حُسْنَكْ

You described my body transforming,

So did you fall for your own beauty?

وكان جَفْنَكَ مُضْنىً

فصرتَ كلُّكَ جَفْنَكْ

Your eyelids were heavy,

So you became all eyelid.

وزادَكَ السُّقمُ حُسْناً

واللهِ إِنَّكَ إِنَّكْ

Sickness increased your beauty,

By God you are, you are.
