1. I was rewarded in the evening for my love,
A breeze blew and revived my weary heart.

2. I looked around me with the glances
Of one infatuated, to the left and right.

3. And there was a lad with ripe pomegranates,
Sweet as breasts ready to be plucked.

4. My eyes met the call of a young man,
My ally, O pomegranate from our Kafr Kanna!

5. I said hurry to me, I will pay any price,
And sing of it and rejoice.

6. O messenger of my beloved, you have brought me
What I wished for though you did not know.
