1. وَجهُ تَثليثُ النَصارى

    بانَ في قَدِّ حَبيبي

    The meaning of the Christians’ Trinity

    became clear in my beloved’s form:

  2. غُصنُ بانٍ بَدرٍ

    نابِتٌ فَوقَ كَثيبِ

    a bān-tree branch, a full moon,

    growing above a sand dune.

  3. فَهوَ مَوضوعٌ لِحَملِ ال

    بَدرِ مَحمولُ القُلوبِ

    Thus he is set to bear the

    full moon, himself borne by hearts.
