دعوا شبيه الغزال يرمي

دعوا شبيه الغزال يرمي

في مهجتي بالنفار جمرا

في مهجتي بالنفار جمرا

Let the gazelle-like one hurl

Let the gazelle-like one cast

embers into my heart by shying away.

Embers into my heart by shying away.

تالله لا فاتني لقاه

تالله لا فاتني لقاه

وعين كيسي عليه حمرا

وعين كيسي عليه حمرا

By God, meeting him shall not elude me—

By God, may meeting him not elude me,

and the red gold in my purse is for him.

While my purse’s eye is red toward him.
