1. عَينُ المَها للصِبا قَلبُ الشَجي يَلزُزن

    كَم أَتلَفت مُهَجاً مِنا وَكَم يعزِزن

    Oryx eyes drive the lovesick heart toward youthful passion.

    How many hearts of ours they have destroyed—and how precious they are!

  2. يَهزُزنَ سُمرَ القَنا يا حُسنَ ما يَهزُزن

    إِذا طَعَنَّ بِها في مُهجَتي يَحزُزن

    They brandish dusky spears—oh, the beauty of what they brandish!

    When they thrust them into my heart, they slash it.
