1. A fawn with a tender bleat nestled in my heart
When the eye sweeps the wilderness and its pastures
١. وَظَبيٍ غَريرٍ في فُؤادي كِناسُهُ
إِذا اِكتَنَسَ العَينُ الفَلاةَ وَحَورُها
2. The eggs of the gazelles testify to it and their fawn fur
And its tender bleat tells it in some matters
٢. تُقِرُّ لَهُ بيضُ الظِباءِ وَأُدمُها
وَيَحكيهِ في بَعضِ الأُمورِ غَريرُها
3. So it is his nature to spend the night with it and its throat
And it is his nature to disobey it and avoidance
٣. فَمِن خَلقِهِ لِبّاتُها وَنُحورُها
وَمِن خُلقِهِ عِصيانُها وَنُفورُها
