تملكت في وجدي لعشقي في الورى

تملكت في وجدي لعشقي في الورى

أمير جمالٍ يعتني بكرامتي

أمير جمالٍ يعتني بكرامتي

In my passion, through my love of the rose, I came to possess

In my longing, through my love, I have gained among mortals

the prince of your beauty, who safeguards my honor.

A prince of beauty who cares for my honor.

أرى شعره المنشور قدام خده

أرى شعره المنشور قدام خده

وبيته للثم تحت علامتي

وبيته للثم تحت علامتي

I see his hair—scattered like prose—before his cheek,

I see his hair spread out before his cheek,

and his verse, there to be kissed, beneath my signature.

And his house for kisses beneath my signature.
