1. Oh maiden with embrace I yearn
Oh flower with scent I burn
١. يَا بَانَةً مَنْ لِي بِضَمِّكْ
يَا زَهْرَةً مَنْ لِي بِشَمِّكْ
2. Daughter of the ladies' queen
Go easy on your mother's life
٢. يَا بِنْتَ سَيِّدَةِ النِّسَا
ءِ تَرَفَّقِي بِحَيَاةِ أُمِّكْ
3. In me no hair can sprout
Without bearing mark of your arrow
٣. مَا فِيَّ مَنْبِتُ شَعْرَةٍ
إِلَّا بِهِ أَثَرٌ لِسَهْمِكْ
4. Nay, nor in my brain
Other than your rejection and sorrow
٤. كَلا وَلا فِي مُهْجَتِي
مِنْ طُولِ صَدِّكِ غَيْرُ هَمِّكْ
5. I've grown immune to wounds
When your bright moon abandoned me
٥. أَصْبَحْتُ مُمْتَنِعَ الْكَرَى
لَمَّا جَفَانِي بَدْرُ تِمِّكْ
6. If you don't show me affection
Or grace me with your kiss
٦. إِنْ لَمْ تَجُودِي بِاللِّقَا
ءِ عَلَى الْمُحِبِّ وَلا بِلَثْمِكْ
7. Then pardon me just once
So I may gain the kiss I miss
٧. فَتَسَامَحِي لِيَ مَرَّةً
حَتَّى أَفُوزَ بِلَثْمِ كُمِّكْ
