فَأَشارَ لي ذاكَ الرَشا مُتَبَسِّما

فَأَشارَ لي ذاكَ الرَشا مُتَبَسِّما

حاشايَ اِن أَصمى المُحِب المُغرَما

حاشايَ اِن أَصمى المُحِب المُغرَما

Then that gazelle fawn gestured to me, smiling:

Then with a smile the head that was wind-blown beckoned me

Far be it from me to strike the enamored lover dead.

Nay, deafen not the ears of a lover distraught

اِنّي وَجَدتُكَ بِالجَمالِ متيما

اِنّي وَجَدتُكَ بِالجَمالِ متيما

وَأَنا بِوُدِّكَ صادِق وَزَعيم

وَأَنا بِوُدِّكَ صادِق وَزَعيم

Indeed, I found you enthralled by beauty.

Indeed in you I found beauty that made me yearn

And I am sincere in my love for you, and I vouch for it.

While for your love I am true and a leader
