1. جَاءَ عِذارُ الذي أَهِيمُ بهِ

    فَجدَّدَ الوَجْدَ أيَّ تَجدِيدِ

    The cheek-down of the one I love madly appeared,

    and renewed my longing—what a renewal!

  2. وَظَنَّهُ آخِرَ الغَرامِ بهِ

    مُفَنِّدٌ جَاهِلٌ بِمَقْصُودِي

    And it was deemed the end of my passion for him

    by a reprover ignorant of my intent.

  3. وَمَا دَرَى أَنَّ لامَ عارضهِ

    لامُ ابتِداءٍ ولامُ تَوْكِيدِ

    And he did not know that the lām-shaped down on his cheek

    is a lām of beginning and a lām of emphasis.
