1. رأى الواشي تباريحي

    فقلتُ الصبّ قد جُنّا

    The tale-bearer saw my torments,

    So I said, 'The lovesick one has gone mad.'

  2. ولو أبصر وجناتٍ

    تضيء الليل إن جنَا

    Yet had he seen cheeks

    That light the night when it grows dark,

  3. ووجهاً لا ترى للبد

    ر إن أبصرتَه معنى

    And a face—you would find the full moon,

    If you beheld that face, of no account—

  4. لأضحى في الهوى صَبًّا

    وأمسى هائماً معنا

    He would have grown lovesick with passion,

    And by evening been lost in love alongside us.
