1. A gazelle has raided my heart with the swords of his eyelids
And gashed my insides with the roses of his cheeks

2. And my chest grew tough with the stature of his height
And he lined up my livers with the spear of his flexing

3. He plays with me if I try to fulfill his promise
A gazelle not a man to keep his word

4. And he disappoints me when I ask for his union
And fulfills for me from his promise only threats

5. I envy him for my glances, so how can I not
Envy him for the necklaces on his neck

6. God bless the day he glanced with love
Despite the envy of foes and the envious

7. He appeared and the sun faded under his sky
He turned away and I lost the moon in his distance

8. And if you come to Ghuwayr, and it is well known
Stop by the valley of Al-Munhana and its flowers

9. There an old love of mine, and for so long
My heart's thirst was quenched by kissing its soil

10. Say hello to the pastures of Najd and the sands of ‘Alaj
Pass by Naiman and circle its gazelles

11. Send regards to Rabia and Salma in the ruins
Where he triumphed with his lions over its blacks

12. Tell of my fervor for Al-Hayy Al-Hilool in Dharidh
And inform him of my heart's love and its renewal

13. Mark lightning in Raqmtayn and Hajir
And do not ask if he fulfills his vows

14. And pass by Wadi Ghadha and its shadows
And take news of it and the beauty of its hand
