قَد صَدَ قَلبي قَمَرُ

قَد صَدَ قَلبي قَمَرُ

يَسحَرُ مِنهُ النَظَرُ

يَسحَرُ مِنهُ النَظَرُ

A moon has spurned my heart;

My heart was fascinated by the moon,

his gaze casts a spell.

Which enchants the eyes with its splendor.

وَقَد فَنَيتُ بَعدَهُ

وَقَد فَنَيتُ بَعدَهُ

وَضاعَ ذاكَ الحَذَرُ

وَضاعَ ذاكَ الحَذَرُ

And I have wasted away in his absence,

After it disappeared I was lost,

and that caution has been lost.

And all caution was abandoned.

بِوَجنَةٍ كَأَنَّما

بِوَجنَةٍ كَأَنَّما

يَقدَحُ مِنها الشَزَرُ

يَقدَحُ مِنها الشَزَرُ

With a cheek, as though

With cheeks that seem to sparkle,

his sidelong glance strikes sparks from it,

And a drinker who has intended or slept

وَشارِبٍ قَد هَمَّ أَو

وَشارِبٍ قَد هَمَّ أَو

نَمَّ عَلَيهِ الشَعَرُ

نَمَّ عَلَيهِ الشَعَرُ

and a moustache just threatening to grow—or

revealed by the hair upon it.

His eyelids are weak,

ضَعيفَةٌ أَجفانُهُ

ضَعيفَةٌ أَجفانُهُ

وَالقَلبُ مِنهُ حَجَرُ

وَالقَلبُ مِنهُ حَجَرُ

His eyelids are languid,

And his heart is stone.

and his heart is stone.

It's as if his glances

كَأَنَّما أَلحاظُهُ

كَأَنَّما أَلحاظُهُ

مِن فِعلِهِ تَعتَذِرُ

مِن فِعلِهِ تَعتَذِرُ

As though his glances

Apologize for his actions.

apologize for his deeds.

I have not seen a face like this

لَم أَرَ وَجهاً مِثلَ ذا

لَم أَرَ وَجهاً مِثلَ ذا

نَجا عَلَيهِ بَشَرُ

نَجا عَلَيهِ بَشَرُ

Never have I seen a face like this

That mankind could survive its harm.

that any mortal has survived.
