1. The glance of Shadi singing to the lute
Brought my afflicted heart into danger's way
١. غَنى على العودِ شَادٍ سهمُ ناظرهِ
أَمسى به قَلبىَ المُضْنى على خَطَرِ
2. He drew near and his fingers brushed a string
Then my soul escaped between the dart and chord
٢. دنا الىَّ وجستْ كفه وتراً
فَراحت الروحُ بين السهمِ والوترِ
