الشَّمسُ لَم تَرتَعِد مِن قبل رُؤيَتِها

الشَّمسُ لَم تَرتَعِد مِن قبل رُؤيَتِها

بَدر الجَمالِ الّذي لَم يَحكِهِ أَحدُ

بَدر الجَمالِ الّذي لَم يَحكِهِ أَحدُ

The sun had not trembled before she beheld

The sun had never trembled ere she saw his face,

the full moon of beauty, whom no one could match.

The loveliness of which no tongue can trace.

لَمّا رَأَتهُ وَشامَت رُمحَ قامَتِهِ

لَمّا رَأَتهُ وَشامَت رُمحَ قامَتِهِ

مِن حينِ ذا لَم تَزَل في الأفقِ تَرتعدُ

مِن حينِ ذا لَم تَزَل في الأفقِ تَرتعدُ

When she saw him and beheld the spear of his stature,

But when she saw him clad in coat of mail,

ever since then, she has kept trembling on the horizon.

Trembling she stood dissolved in deadly pale.
