شَبيهُ الخَدِّ بِالتُفّا

شَبيهُ الخَدِّ بِالتُفّا

حِ وَالريقَةِ بِالخَمرِ

حِ وَالريقَةِ بِالخَمرِ

His cheek resembles an ap-

His cheek is like an apple, his saliva like wine,

ple, and his saliva resembles wine.

Exquisite in beauty, a blend of sun and moon.

بَديعُ الحُسنِ قَد أُلِّفَ

بَديعُ الحُسنِ قَد أُلِّفَ

مِن شَمسٍ وَمِن بَدرِ

مِن شَمسٍ وَمِن بَدرِ

Wondrous in beauty, he has been fashioned

His face, when seen, makes you forget excuses,

From a sun and from a full moon.

May God be exalted! What chaos his eyes create in my heart.

لَهُ وَجهٌ إِذا أَبصَر

لَهُ وَجهٌ إِذا أَبصَر

تَهُ ناجاكَ عَن عُذرِ

تَهُ ناجاكَ عَن عُذرِ

He has a face that, when you behold

It, whispers to you of an excuse.

تَعالى اللَهُ ما تَقدَ

تَعالى اللَهُ ما تَقدَ

حُهُ عَيناهُ في صَدري

حُهُ عَيناهُ في صَدري

Exalted be God! What is kin-

dled by his eyes within my breast!
