1. The beautiful maiden, daughter of Fara, captivated my heart
So tears overflowed from my eyes in torrents
١. سَبَت قَلبي المَلِيحَةُ بِنتُ فَارَا
ففاض الدَمعُ مِن عَيني وفَارَا
2. I went to her house stealthily but when
She saw my passion for her, she recoiled in disgust
٢. فَجِئتُ الدَّارَ مُختَفِياً فَلَّمَا
رَأت شَغفي بِها نَفَرَت نِفَارا
3. I held the hem of her gown and she said
Were you not ashamed, miserable coward, to come
٣. فَأمسَكَت الإِزَارَ يَدِى فَقَالَت
ألَم تَكُ وَيك مُختَشِياً صَفَارَا
