1. She settled with a gentle gaze
Rebellious, she resisted
١. باتَت بِطَرفٍ مُسَهَّد
مَطمومَةٌ تَتَمَرَّد
2. With charm and tenderness
An increase renewed
٢. لَها مِنَ الظُرفِ وَالحُس
نُ زائِدٌ يَتَجَدَّد
3. So every lovely beauty
From her beauty originated
٣. فَكُلُّ حُسنٍ بَديعٍ
مِن حُسنِها يَتَوَلَّد
4. In my heart for her
A warmth kindled
٤. في القَلبِ مِنّي عَلَيها
حَرارَةٌ تَتَوَقَّد
5. She returns with union at times
And return with union is best
٥. تَعودُ بِالوَصلِ طَوراً
وَالعَودُ بِالوَصلِ أَحمَد
6. Until when she made me covet
She refused me and denied
٦. حَتّى إِذا أَطمَعَتني
تَأبى عَلَيَّ وَتَجحَد
7. So for my heart from her
Nothing but regret and hesitation
٧. فَما لِقَلبِيَ مِنها
إِلّا العَنا وَالتَرَدُّد
8. I seek nearness to her
With effort from me yet she distances
٨. أَبغي دُنُوّاً إِلَيها
بِالجَهدِ مِنّي فَتَبعُد
