أفديه أعمى مغمداً لحظه

أفديه أعمى مغمداً لحظه

ليرتعي في خده الوردي

ليرتعي في خده الوردي

I would ransom him, blind, his gaze sheathed,

I would sacrifice a blind man for the sake of his cheek

so that it may graze upon his rosy cheek.

So that he may graze on its rosy complexion

تمكنت عيناي من وجهه

تمكنت عيناي من وجهه

فقلت هذي جنة الخلد

فقلت هذي جنة الخلد

My eyes gained free access to his face,

My eyes have grasped his face

and I said, “This is the garden of eternity.”

So I said this is the garden of eternity
