1. I called out to her who was wrapped in darkness, I would give my life for you, oh shrouded one,
Do not wound a hand that is dear to me,
١. ناديتُ دُمْلَجَها فديتُكَ دُمْلَجاً
لا تجرحنَّ يداً لها عندي يدُ
2. He replied to me, I am rough darkness,
Though for her I am tender, my heart is frozen stone
٢. فأجابني أنا دُملجٌ ذو غلظةٍ
إني أرقُّ لها وقلبي جلمدُ
