حبّي انجلى جماله وقد حان وصاله
أراني كماله بمرآتي مثاله
My love revealed his beauty, and the time of union has come
I see his perfection in my mirror, his image
بدري باهي المحيّا يجلو صافي الحميّا
بكاسه لي حيا وقد صفا جرياله
My full moon dawning with a radiant face, clearing the pure dawn
With his cup giving me life, its draft purified
يا لائمي في سكري مهلاً فالهوى عذري
ثكلتك لو تدري هوى جلا جلاله
Oh you who blame me for my intoxication, wait, for love is my excuse
May you lose your children if you but knew the love of the Majestic Glory
نعيمي بمحبوبي غدا عين تعذيبي
جناني بمطلوبي نارٌ بها اشتعاله
My bliss is with my beloved, though now the sight of him torments me
My heaven with my sought one is a fire flaming within it
عذل عذولي عدلُ بلا نقطةٍ تعلو
ما للعذّال فعلُ وكلّها أفعاله
Reprove my playful critic justly, with no fault to be set right
What can the critic do, when all is His doing?
هواه لنا ملَّهْ ووجهه لي قبلهْ
عذولي الغبي الأبلهْ قد غرّه ضلاله
His love has filled us, his face is before me, kissed
My foolish critic, misled in his error
يا عاذلي لا تطمع فليس من مسمع
فذو الهوى لا يسمع مهما لغت عذّاله
Oh you who blame me, do not hope, for none will listen
The lover hears nothing, no matter how the critic complains
وكيف يصغي المغرمْ لعاذلٍ لا يعلمْ
جمال الّذي تيّمْ كلّ الورى جماله
How can the enamored listen to a critic who knows nothing
Of the beauty that has enthralled all creation in its allure?
عليه ربّي صلَّى وسلّم في المجلى
لدى الرفرف الأعلى وقد نما إقباله
May my Lord bless and salute him, in the Exalted Assembly
At the Lote-Tree of the Limit, his request granted
وعلى الآل الغرّ والصحب ذوي القدر
ما شدا اليافي البكري حبّي انجلى جماله
And upon his Family, pure and noble, and the Companions of merit
As long as the south wind blows, my love revealed his beauty
