1. وُصِفَت عِندي سُلَيمى

    فَاِشتَهى قَلبي يَراها

    Sulayma was described to me,

    so my heart longed to see her.

  2. لَو يَرى سَلمى خَليلي

    لَدَعا سَلمى إِلاها

    If my friend were to see Salma,

    he would call Salma a deity,

  3. وَرَأى حينَ يَراها

    رَبَّ طاسينَ وَطاها

    and, when he saw her, would behold

    the Lord of Ṭā-Sīn and Ṭā-Hā.
