1. Hello and welcome, graceful gazelle
With kohl-lined eyes and rosy cheek

2. Sweet-lipped, slender, and elegant
You came to us on the happiest morn

3. I said, settle down, O beautiful one, O joy
Receive good news, for you are the delight of my eye

4. So taste not the bitterness of estrangement
And distance from you, O fawn, is harrowing

5. Do not go away, O splendid gazelle
Loyalty here is assured, no doubt

6. Your visits are nothing but celebration
You are the object of my songs

7. When your radiant face appeared
Like the full moon rising at dawn

8. I knew hardship had left me behind
And the era of intimacy was renewed

9. So praise be to God, so generous
Who relieved anxiety and distress

10. And may Allah send blessings and peace
Upon the Prophet Muhammad, the Hashimite
