I would ransom with my soul the one for whom beauty has become an army,
My soul has become an army for the one whose beauty conquered me
Encompassing all that is far and near in beauty.
It has defeated all the storytellers in charm and brought them near

So, O his piercing glance and the red of his cheek:
Oh moment of the past and the redness of his cheek
Your companion is Qaysi, and you are Yemeni.
He is your beloved Qais and you are the one from Yemen
