1. وعلى محياكِ الحجا

    ب ترين منه ولا أراك

    And over your face is the veil;

    you see through it, but I do not see you.

  2. يا شمسُ ان اللَه لم

    يخلقك كي تخفي سناك

    O sun, surely God did not

    create you to hide your radiance.

  3. اعلاك عني كي يفي

    ض عليَّ نورك من علاك

    He raised you above me so that

    your light might pour upon me from your height.

  4. ما في خلائقه جمي

    لٌ يختفي عني سواك

    Nothing beautiful among His creatures

    is hidden from me except you.

  5. الوردُ بادٍ في الريا

    ض فكيف تمتر وجنتاك

    The rose is visible in the gardens;

    so how are your cheeks veiled [uncertain reading]?

  6. والظبي تعرض مقلتاه

    ه فكيف تحجب مقلتاك

    And the gazelle's eyes are displayed;

    so how are your eyes veiled?

  7. والصبح يفتح للندى

    فاه فكيف سترت فاك

    And dawn opens to the dew

    its mouth—so how have you covered your mouth?

  8. ماذا يضرك أن أرا

    كِ وان اسبح من براك

    What harm would it do you for me to see

    you, and glorify the One who created you?
