أسفَرتُ عَن جَمالِها فَذَهَلنا

أسفَرتُ عَن جَمالِها فَذَهَلنا

وَاِستَفاضَت مِنَ العُيونِ الدُموعُ

وَاِستَفاضَت مِنَ العُيونِ الدُموعُ

I unveiled her beauty, and we were stunned.

Her beauty dazzled as it was unveiled,

And tears streamed from the eyes.

Tears overflowed from every eye.

فَاِتَّقَينا بِالراحَتَينِ ضِياها

فَاِتَّقَينا بِالراحَتَينِ ضِياها

وَاِستَكفَتهُ بِالفِراشِ الشُموعُ

وَاِستَكفَتهُ بِالفِراشِ الشُموعُ

So we shielded ourselves from her radiance with both palms.

With both hands we shaded ourselves from her radiance,

And the candles shielded themselves from it with moths.

Candles were dimmed by her bedsheets.
