She passed by like the lines of tattoos, Ghadah

مرت كخوط الخيزرانة غادة

1. She passed by like the lines of tattoos, Ghadah
Captivating minds and stealing thoughts

تَسْبى العقولَ وتخطف الأذْهانَا

From all people, it would be disgraced

مِنْ عند كلِّ العالمين لهَانَا

3. Sun-like, moon-like, delightful
The memory of her has distracted our religion

تذكارُها عن ديننَا أَلهَانَا

She recoiled, even denied what was

فتنفرتْ بل أنكرتْ ما كانَا

5. O you, how good life would be if only
Seeing you in all matters were disgraced

٥. يا هذه ما أطيبَ الدنيا لو أنّ
هراكَ في كلِّ الأمور هوانَا

6. You have captivated the hearts of men, after
Leaving their neighborhood, passion and disgrace

٦. أوليتَ أفئدة الرجالِ بُعَيْدَ ما
فارقْتِ جيرتهم هَوّى وهَوانَا
