وَظَبْيِ إنْسٍ سَبَى الآسَادَ نَاظِرُهُ

وَظَبْيِ إنْسٍ سَبَى الآسَادَ نَاظِرُهُ

بِعَشْرَةٍ مَا حَوَاهَا قَبْلَهُ بَشَرُ

بِعَشْرَةٍ مَا حَوَاهَا قَبْلَهُ بَشَرُ

And a gazelle in human form whose gaze took lions captive,

The lion took notice of a human being,

With ten qualities no human before him possessed:

One with a charm like no other person before.

سِحْرٌ فُتُورٌ سَقَامٌ صِحَّةٌ وَطَفٌ

سِحْرٌ فُتُورٌ سَقَامٌ صِحَّةٌ وَطَفٌ

غَنْجٌ دَلاَلٌ نَشَاطٌ حَرَّةٌ حَوَرُ

غَنْجٌ دَلاَلٌ نَشَاطٌ حَرَّةٌ حَوَرُ

Enchantment, languor, sickness, health, long lashes;

Magic yet listless, sickly yet healthy, docile yet spirited,

Coquetry, coyness, liveliness, burning heat, dark-eyed beauty;

Coquettish yet loyal, lively yet hot-tempered.

مِسْكٌ غَزَالٌ قَضِيبٌ نَيِّرٌ غَسَقٌ

مِسْكٌ غَزَالٌ قَضِيبٌ نَيِّرٌ غَسَقٌ

زَهْرٌ خَلِيجٌ رَبِيعٌ وَرْدَةٌ شَرَرُ

زَهْرٌ خَلِيجٌ رَبِيعٌ وَرْدَةٌ شَرَرُ

Musk, a gazelle, a slender branch, a luminary, dusk;

Musk, a gazelle, a slender branch, a shining star, dusk,

Blossoms, an inlet, spring, a rose, sparks.

A flower, a gulf, springtime, a rose, a spark.
