1. The dove has turned away from the lovely doe
And time has claimed the graceful gazelle
١. تَولَّى الحِمامُ بظَبْي الخُدُورِ
وفازَ الرَّدى بالغَزَالِ الغَرِيرِ
2. I did not tire of you out of boredom
Nor because of any corruption within my heart
٢. وكُنْتُ ملِلْتُك لا عن قِلىً
ولا عن فَسادٍ جرى في ضَمِيري
3. It was like a young man tiring of pleasure
When joy in him becomes constant
٣. كمِثْلِ ملالِ الفَتَى للنَّعِيمِ
إِذا دام فيه وحال السُّرُورِ
