1. With her smile, Rim lit up the dark night
And whenever she passed through the valley of love, she adorned it

2. When she glanced at me, while my heart remained inflamed
She said, noticing me: “We are black over white gazelles.”

3. I said: “You are black-eyed ones.”
In my soul and conscience, her love took root

4. And whoever felt the flames of passion, she lit in him a spark
O masters, she taught them lessons of valor

5. They said: “Perhaps your body, the day we're apart, may heal
We will restore it.” I said: “O people of loyalty, return!

6. How many hearts have archers of separation struck!
How many lovers have they sent to their doom!

7. They have ruled over people and the earth
The kings of beauty were bent on hunting gazelles

8. So I said: “You are kings whose prey is splendor.”
