1. I swear by the Merciful, from the hur
whose eyes break my sleepiness,
١. أَنا بِالرَحمَن مِن حو
رٍ يكَسِّرن جفونا
2. Bewitching doves that dazzle the eyes.
I said they're from here, and my words
٢. دارِجات كَحَمام ال
أيك يبهرن العُيونا
3. were ignorance and madness.
Then from among them came a beauty
٣. قُلت مِن هُنّ وَقَولي
كانَ جَهلاً وَجُنونا
4. that awakened my sorrows,
And she answered me, though I did not know
٤. فَاِنبَرَت مِنهُن حَسنا
ء فَأذكَتني شُجونا
5. if she was serious or joking:
"We are your bliss and passion,
٥. وَأَجابَتني وَلَم أَد
رِ أَجدّاً أَم مُجونا
6. and we have seduced you with seduction."
٦. نَحنُ مِن سُمناك وَجداً
وَفتنّاك فتونا
