قد بعثنا بذات لون بديع
كنبات الربيع أو هي أحسن
We have sent one of exquisite hue,
Indeed, we have sent one of wondrous color,
Like spring’s fresh growth—or lovelier still—
Like spring's growth—or she is lovelier.
في قناع من جلنار وآس
وقميص من ياسمين وسوسن
In a veil of pomegranate blossom and myrtle,
In a veil of pomegranate blossom and myrtle,
And a gown of jasmine and lily.
And a tunic of jasmine and iris.
ذبحت وهي بنت درة بر
كل عن بعض وصفها كل محسن
She was slaughtered, though born of a pearl of wheat;
She was slaughtered, though the daughter of a pearl of wheat;
Every consummate artist falls short of describing even part of her.
Every skilled person falls short of even partly describing her.
