وَمُصّورٍ بِالشَمسِ وَهوَ نَظيرُها

وَمُصّورٍ بِالشَمسِ وَهوَ نَظيرُها

أَهدَتهُ صُورَتها بِرَسمِ مِثالِهْ

أَهدَتهُ صُورَتها بِرَسمِ مِثالِهْ

And one portrayed by the sun, himself her equal—

And a painter with the sun though it's his peer

She gave him her image in rendering his likeness.

She gifted him her image with the shape of his likeness

وَلَو أَنَّ شَمساً صُوِّرت بِضيائِها

وَلَو أَنَّ شَمساً صُوِّرت بِضيائِها

ما صَوّروهُ بِغَيرِ نُورِ جَمالِهْ

ما صَوّروهُ بِغَيرِ نُورِ جَمالِهْ

And if a sun were portrayed by its radiance,

And if that a sun was painted with its glow

They would portray him only by the light of his beauty.

None would paint him but with the light of his beauty
