رغبت في الجنَّةِ لما بَدَا

أَنْموذَجُ الجنَّة في شَكْلِهِ

I yearned for Paradise when there appeared

the model of Paradise in his form.

فصرْتُ من حِرْصِي على شِبْهِهِ

في البَعْثِ لا أَلْوِي على وَصْلِه

So, eager for his being mustered, I became

at the Resurrection heedless of union with him.

فانْظُر لما قد جرّه حُسْنُه

من تَوْبَة تَقْبُحُ في مِثْلهِ

Behold what his beauty has brought about:

repentance—unseemly where one like him is concerned.
