له بسمةٌ تغوي القلوب بسحرها

له بسمةٌ تغوي القلوب بسحرها

وهيبةُ سلطانٍ .. ونظرة لوذعي

وهيبةُ سلطانٍ .. ونظرة لوذعي

He has a smile that beguiles hearts with its magic,

He has a smile that beguiles hearts with its magic,

the majesty of a sovereign—and a keen, discerning gaze;

And a sultan's majesty, and a keen-witted man's gaze,

ووجهٌ إذا ما خامرَ العينَ حسنُه

ووجهٌ إذا ما خامرَ العينَ حسنُه

هوى كلُّ معصومِ الفؤادِ مُمنّعِ

هوى كلُّ معصومِ الفؤادِ مُمنّعِ

and a face whose beauty, once it steals into the eye,

And a face—when its beauty steals into the eye,

makes every guarded soul of blameless heart fall in love.

Everyone with a guarded, unassailable heart falls in love.
