فأَرعى تَحتَ حاشِيَةِ الدَياجي

فأَرعى تَحتَ حاشِيَةِ الدَياجي

شَقائِقَ وَجنَةٍ سُقِيَت مُداما

شَقائِقَ وَجنَةٍ سُقِيَت مُداما

So I behold, beneath the hem of darkness,

So beneath the fringe of night I graze

the anemones of a cheek watered with wine.

On the anemones of a cheek watered with wine.

إِذا كَرَّت لَواحِظُ مُقلَتَيهِ

إِذا كَرَّت لَواحِظُ مُقلَتَيهِ

حَسِبتَ قُلوبَنا مُطِرَت سِهاما

حَسِبتَ قُلوبَنا مُطِرَت سِهاما

When the glances of his two eyes wheel and charge,

When the glances of his eyes charge,

you would think our hearts had been showered with arrows.

You would think our hearts were showered with arrows.

وَإِن مالَت بِعَطفَيهِ شَمولٌ

وَإِن مالَت بِعَطفَيهِ شَمولٌ

سَقانا مِن شَمائِلِهِ سِقاما

سَقانا مِن شَمائِلِهِ سِقاما

And if wine sets his body swaying,

And if wine makes his flanks sway,

he gives us a draught of sickness from his charms.

He gives us sickness to drink from his charms.
