My beloved, tan skinned and frowning,

حبيبي أسمر مخنكر

1. My beloved, tan skinned and frowning,
With black eyes that slay with daggers,

١. حبيبي أسمر مخنكر
مَعُو عِينْ سُوداً تَنْحَرْ بْخَنْجَرْ

2. In them is magic inscribed,
Fiery letters that enchant and captivate,

٢. وفيها السّحْرْ سَطِّرْ
حروفْ نَارِيَّةْ تسْحِرْ وتسْجُرْ

3. Clinging to a rosy cheek,
With ambergris musk on a delicate temple,

٣. تْمَسَّكْ وَرْدْ خَدُّو
بعَنْبَرْ خَالْ شَحْرِي مرعف

4. And blossoming branch of his stature,
With a narcissus glance, untamed and doubled over,

٤. وبَاهَي غُصْن قَدُّو
بنَرْجَسْ لحظْ بَرّي ومْضَعَّفْ

5. And on his chest are
My two sweet flowers, blossoming and doubled over.

٥. وفي صَدْرُو لْنَهْدُو
رْمِيمِينْ حِلوْ زهرِي ومْضَعَّفْ
