1. Soft doves are cooing in the grove of Damascus
Among perfumed boughs that yearn for their delight
١. بالجنك من مغنى دمشق حمائمٌ
في دَفّ أشجا تشوق بلطفها
2. When the reveler beckons to them with his cup
They sing to him with lute and drum their delight
٢. فإذا أشارَ لها الشجي بكأسه
غنَّت عليه بجنكها وبدفها
