1. الحُسنُ جُزءٌ مِن وَجهِكَ الحَسَنِ

    يا قَمَراً موفِياً عَلى غُصُنِ

    Beauty is a part of your beautiful face.

    O moon rising high upon a bough!

  2. إِن كُنتَ في الحُسنِ واحِداً فَأَنا

    يا واحِدَ الحُسنِ واحِدُ الحَزَنِ

    If you are peerless in beauty, then I—

    O peerless one in beauty—am peerless in sorrow.

  3. كُلُّ سَقامٍ تَراهُ في أَحَدٍ

    فَذاكَ فَرعٌ وَالأَصلُ في بَدَني

    Every sickness you see in anyone—

    that is a branch; the root is in my body.

  4. كَوامِنُ الحُبِّ قَبلَ كَونِكَ في

    أَفئِدَةِ العاشِقينَ لَم تَكُنِ

    Before you came to be, love's hidden stirrings in

    the hearts of lovers did not exist.
