أقبلت تنجلي وفي معطفيها

أقبلت تنجلي وفي معطفيها

نظر العاشقين مثل النطاق

نظر العاشقين مثل النطاق

She came forth, revealing herself, and around her sides

She came gliding in her cloak

The lovers’ gaze lay like a girdle.

And lovers' gazes clung to her like necklaces

ما ترى بردها وقد صبغته

ما ترى بردها وقد صبغته

من سواد القلوب والأحداقِ

من سواد القلوب والأحداقِ

What do you make of her mantle, now that she has dyed it

Unaware of her coldness though it was colored

With the blackness of hearts and pupils?

By the blackness of hearts and eyes
