يا بانة في رقيق الوشي منعطفه

يا بانة في رقيق الوشي منعطفه

هل أنت مسعفة صبا ومنعطفه

هل أنت مسعفة صبا ومنعطفه

O slender bāna, bending in delicate brocade,

O bān tree, bending in delicate brocade,

O Banah, in the softness of her veil a turn

will you aid a lovelorn man and incline toward him?

Will you aid a lovesick lover and incline toward him?

Are you a helper of youth and its turn?

وأنت يا مرشفاً رقت سلافته

وأنت يا مرشفاً رقت سلافته

نالت شفاها شفاه منك مرتشفه

نالت شفاها شفاه منك مرتشفه

And you, O mouth for sipping, whose vintage is delicate—

And you, O mouth whose pure wine is delicate,

And you, O perfumer, the gentleness of its extraction

lips sipping from you attained their cure.

Lips sipping from you have found their healing.

Lips have gotten from your lips sipped

رأيت خدك موصوفاً برقته

رأيت خدك موصوفاً برقته

لا يقس قلبك يا احلى الأنام صفه

لا يقس قلبك يا احلى الأنام صفه

I saw your cheek renowned for its tenderness;

I have seen your cheek described as soft;

I saw your cheek described in its gentleness

let not your heart grow hard, O sweetest of humankind in character.

Let not your heart harden, O you whose qualities are sweetest among humankind.

Do not harden your heart, O most beautiful creation row

ما لاح وجهك في لألاء بهجته

ما لاح وجهك في لألاء بهجته

للشمس الا رأينا الشمس منكسفه

للشمس الا رأينا الشمس منكسفه

Whenever your face shone in the radiant splendor of its beauty

Never has your face shone in the radiance of its beauty

What appeared your face in the brilliance of its joy

before the sun, we saw the sun eclipsed.

Before the sun without our seeing the sun eclipsed.

The sun did not appear but we saw the eclipsed sun from you
