1. قَد قَصَرنا دونَكَ الأَلحا

    ظَ خَوفاً أَن تَذوبا

    We have stopped our glances short of you,

    for fear that you might melt.

  2. كُلَّما زِدناكَ لَحظاً

    زِدتَنا حُسناً وَطيبا

    Whenever we gaze at you more,

    you give us more beauty and fragrance.

  3. مَرِضَت أَلحاظُ عَينَي

    كَ فَأَمرَضتَ القُلوبا

    The glances of your eyes grew languid;

    so you made hearts sick.
