يَكونُ الخالُ في وَجهِ مَليح

يَكونُ الخالُ في وَجهِ مَليح

فَيَكسوهُ المِلاحَةِ وَالجَمالا

فَيَكسوهُ المِلاحَةِ وَالجَمالا

A beauty mark lies upon a lovely face,

A beauty mark rests on a lovely face,

and comeliness clothes it in beauty.

and clothes it in loveliness and beauty.

وَلَستَ تَملِ مِن نَظَرَ إِلَيهِ

وَلَستَ تَملِ مِن نَظَرَ إِلَيهِ

فَكَيفَ إِذا رَأَيتَ الوَجهَ خالا

فَكَيفَ إِذا رَأَيتَ الوَجهَ خالا

And you do not tire of gazing at it—

You never tire of gazing at it—

how, then, if you beheld the face as a beauty mark?

so how would it be if you saw the face itself as a beauty mark?
