Is the rope of this beautiful maiden braided,

هل حبل مامة هذه مصروم

1. Is the rope of this beautiful maiden braided,
Or is the love of this beautiful maiden concealed?

١. هَل حَبلُ مامَةَ هَذِهِ مَصرومُ
أَم حُبُّ مامَةَ هَذِهِ مَكتومُ

2. O mother of languid eyes that have betrayed their lover,
Shameful, keen eyes that pierce like needles.

٢. ياأُمَّ أَعيَنَ شادِنٍ خَذَلَت بِهِ
عَيناءُ فاضِحَةٌ بِها تَرقيمُ

3. With the radiance of bright stars her cheeks shine,
A tender, delicate child who can barely stand.

٣. بِنَقا الفُقَيِّ تَلَألَأَت فَخَطا لَها
طِفلٌ بُرادٌ ما يَكادُ يَقومُ

4. By your father's life if you reward me,
I would be a faithful lover, tying ropes tightly braided.

٤. إِنّي لَعَمرُ أَبيكِ لَو تَجزينَني
وَصّالُ مَن وَصَلَ الحِبالَ صَرومُ
