حلَّ مِن القلبِ في الصَّميمِ

حلَّ مِن القلبِ في الصَّميمِ

محلَّ مستوطنٍ مُقيمِ

محلَّ مستوطنٍ مُقيمِ

He settled in the heart’s innermost core,

It settled in the heart's core

As a settled resident, there to stay,

As though 'twere its abiding home.

حيثُ اشتكى سهمَ مقلتهِ

حيثُ اشتكى سهمَ مقلتهِ

بالسقمِ من لحظهِ السقيمِ

بالسقمِ من لحظهِ السقيمِ

Where it suffered from the arrow of his eye,

There where its dart of glance complained,

Sickened by his languishing glance.

Being sick, of the fevered eye,

مَن حلَّ حسناً بِدون حتى

مَن حلَّ حسناً بِدون حتى

دقّ عن الحسنِ والنسيمِ

دقّ عن الحسنِ والنسيمِ

He who dwelt in beauty, without [unclear], until

Who can be fair, and yet not even

He grew subtler than beauty and the breeze.

For fairness' sake draw nigh?

تعرفُ في صبغِ وجنتيهِ

تعرفُ في صبغِ وجنتيهِ

ووجههِ نضرةٌ النعيمِ

ووجههِ نضرةٌ النعيمِ

You discern in the hue of his two cheeks

Thou mayst discern amid his cheek's

And his face the radiance of bliss.

Pure dye the light of Paradise.
