1. O you whose eyes have lost sleep
Made lonesome by the one they love
١. يا مَن لِعَينٍ أَرِقَت
أَوحَشَها مَن عَشِقَت
2. Since parting with their beloved
Their lids have not come together
٢. مُذ فارَقَت أَحبابَها
لَها جُفونٌ ما اِلتَقَت
3. With a cheek as though it were
The rising sun radiating
٣. وَغادَةٍ كَأَنَّها
شَمسُ الضُحى تَأَلَّقَت
4. How often with their tears
My eyes shone when they shone
٤. كَم شَرِقَت بِدَمعِها
عَينَيَ لَمّا أَشرَقَت
5. Roman are their glances
Like arrows that were shot
٥. رومِيَّةٌ أَلحاظُها
مِثلُ سِهامٍ رُشِقَت
6. Slender of waist, for her
A mole like a dotted nun
٦. مَمشوقَةُ القَدِّ لَها
صُدغٌ كَنونٍ مُشِقَت
7. Do you not see the branches
Bashfully bowed down for her
٧. أَما تَرى الغُصونَ مِن
خَجلَتِها قَد أَطرَقَت
8. She has gathered such beauty
That minds are distracted by it
٨. قَد جَمَعَت حُسناً بِهِ
أَلبابُنا تَفَرَّقَت
9. Her glance left me no respite
When it glanced towards me
٩. ماتَرَكَت لي رَمَقاً
مُقلَتُها إِذ رَمَقَت
10. She has fettered and freed
My love and my tears for her
١٠. لِمُهجَتي وَعَبرَتي
قَد قَيَّدَت وَأَطلَقَت
11. In her mouth is pure wine
Delicately sipped
١١. في فَمِها مُدامَةٌ
صافِيَةٌ تَرَوَّقَت
12. How strange her actions are
They intoxicate without drinking
١٢. واعَجَبا مِن فِعلِها
قَد أَسكَرَت وَما سَقَت
