وَبي وَجههُ قَد صَفا حُسنه

وَبي وَجههُ قَد صَفا حُسنه

وَذاكَ هوَ الشّمس فيهِ أَهيمُ

وَذاكَ هوَ الشّمس فيهِ أَهيمُ

And within me is his face, its beauty grown pure;

His face shone bright with beauty

And that is the sun, with which I am enraptured.

The sun itself pales next to him

فَإِن قابَلته السّماءُ ففيهِ

فَإِن قابَلته السّماءُ ففيهِ

تَرى الشّمسَ وَالبدرَ ثمَّ النّجومُ

تَرى الشّمسَ وَالبدرَ ثمَّ النّجومُ

So if the sky faces it, then in it

When the sky gazes upon him

You see the sun and the full moon, then the stars.

It sees the sun, the moon, and all the stars
