A Tammimi girl passed by us yesterday

مرت بنا أمس تميمية

1. A Tammimi girl passed by us yesterday
Dragging her perfumed train behind

١. مرَّت بنا أمسِ تميميَّةٌ
ساحبةً أذيالها العاطره

2. Though she seemed to care for her lover's heart
A fierce, aloof girl she remained

٢. آنسةُ الدلّ تُرى وهي إن
آنستَها وحشيَّةٌ نافره

3. She captivated our souls when she glanced
At us with her listless gaze

٣. قد جَذبت أحشاءَنا مذ غدت
ترمقنا بالنظرة الفاتره

4. So we raced towards her, driven by passion
Though our hasty legs did falter and fail

٤. فانجَذَبت من شغفٍ نحوَها
تسبقُ منَّا الأرجلَ السائره

5. And each ardent youth returned from her
Stumbling, fettered by unfulfilled desire

٥. وعادَ منَّا كلُّ ذي صبوةٍ
وفي حشاهُ رجله عاثره
