1. اعذروني أو اعذلوني أنا المُد

    نَف وجداً بأحسنَ العالمينا

    Excuse me or reproach me: I am love-stricken,

    yearning for the fairest of all people.

  2. لو رأيتُم مِن وَجههِ ما رأت عَي

    ني لأصبحتُمُ له عاشقينا

    If you saw of his face what my eye has seen,

    you would become lovers of him.

  3. وهواهُ ما أبصرت مثلهُ الأَع

    يُنُ في الأوَّلينَ والآخرينا

    By my love for him, eyes have never seen his like

    among the first and the last.

  4. لا كشمسِ النهار بل شمسُهُ الشم

    سُ بهاءً يهتزُّ رياً ولينا

    Not like the sun of day—rather, his sun is the sun

    in splendor; he sways, lush and supple.
