شَهِدَتْ لِحُسْنِكَ آيَةٌ لا تُنْكَرُ

شَهِدَتْ لِحُسْنِكَ آيَةٌ لا تُنْكَرُ

خُطَّتْ بِها في صَفْحِ خَدِّكَ أسْطُرُ

خُطَّتْ بِها في صَفْحِ خَدِّكَ أسْطُرُ

An undeniable sign has borne witness to your beauty;

A sign of your beauty is witnessed, one cannot deny

Through it, lines were inscribed on the surface of your cheek.

Inscribed on the page of your cheek, lines of splendor

أسْرارُ حُسنٍ في صَحيفةِ وَجْنَةٍ

أسْرارُ حُسنٍ في صَحيفةِ وَجْنَةٍ

تُوشَى بأقْلامِ الصِّبا وتُحَبَّرُ
