تَبدَّى عِندَ صُدغيهِ عِذار

تَبدَّى عِندَ صُدغيهِ عِذار

بِشَمسِ خُدودِهِ أَضحى يحلُّ

بِشَمسِ خُدودِهِ أَضحى يحلُّ

Down appeared at his temples;

Upon his cheeks bloomed a rose

It has come to dwell upon the sun of his cheeks.

With the sun of his face the dawn arose

فَشاهِدْ وَجهَه وَبِهِ عذارٌ

فَشاهِدْ وَجهَه وَبِهِ عذارٌ

تَرى شَمساً بِها قَد قامَ ظِلُّ

تَرى شَمساً بِها قَد قامَ ظِلُّ

So behold his face, with down upon it:

So behold his face, on it a rose

You will see a sun upon which a shadow has risen.

You see a sun by which shade arose
