1. وجهتُ وجهي نحوهم فبحقهم

    لا أبتغي غيراً ولا أرجو سوى

    I turned my face toward them; by their honor,

    I seek no other, nor hope for anyone else.

  2. وبمهجتي معبودُ حسنٍ منهم

    فهو على عرشِ القلوب قد استوى

    And in my soul is an idol of beauty from among them;

    For he has taken his seat upon the throne of hearts.

  3. أوحى الى قلبي الذي أوحى له

    فعجبت كيف نطقت فيه عن الهوى

    The one who inspired him inspired my heart;

    So I marveled at how I spoke of him out of passion.
