مَن تَصطَفيهِ إِذا أَشارَ مُخاطِباً

مَن تَصطَفيهِ إِذا أَشارَ مُخاطِباً

مِنكَ الجَوارح كَلَها تَتَنعم

مِنكَ الجَوارح كَلَها تَتَنعم

When the one you favor gestures while addressing you,

When he gestures to you, conversing,

All your limbs are filled with delight.

All your limbs are suffused with delight.

وَإِذا تَكلم مِن أَبيت كَأَنَّما

وَإِذا تَكلم مِن أَبيت كَأَنَّما

مَرآة طَبعك بِالحِجارة تُرجَمُ

مَرآة طَبعك بِالحِجارة تُرجَمُ

And when the one you reject speaks, it is as though

And when he speaks from his abode it seems

The mirror of your nature were being pelted with stones.

As if the mirror of your nature translates stones.
