1. She frowned at me with her eyebrow
And gestured with a glance of her eye
١. جَمَشَتني بِحاجِبٍ
وَأَشارَت بِطَرفِها
2. So I gazed upon her face
And she chided me with her palm
٢. فَتَأَمَّلتُ وَجهَها
فَاِتَّقَتني بِكَفِّها
3. If only my bed were cloven in twain
An ample cover for half of it
٣. لَيتَ نِصفي عَلى الفِرا
شِ لِحافٌ لِنِصفِها
4. Then I might attain what I desire
In spite of her spite
٤. فَأَنالُ الَّذي أُري
دُ عَلى رَغمِ أَنفِها
