مليح في الملاحة ما يُوازي

مليح في الملاحة ما يُوازي

تملك مهجتي ودمي وحازا

تملك مهجتي ودمي وحازا

A fair one, unmatched in beauty,

None can compare in beauty, he has won

Took possession of my soul and blood and made them his.

My heart and soul, his prize forevermore.

بذلتُ له المودَّةَ من فؤادي

بذلتُ له المودَّةَ من فؤادي

فجازاني بأحسن ما يُجازي

فجازاني بأحسن ما يُجازي

I offered him affection from my heart,

I gave to him my true devotion whole,

So he repaid me with the finest recompense.

And he repaid me with the sweetest love.

عروسُ ملاحةٍ جُلِيت علينا

عروسُ ملاحةٍ جُلِيت علينا

وقد نُفِل الجمالُ لها جهازا

وقد نُفِل الجمالُ لها جهازا

A bride of beauty, unveiled before us,

A bride of beauty shone before our eyes,

And beauty was bestowed upon her as a trousseau.

Adorned with graces as her wedding gift.

غلائل خدِّها صُبِغَت بوَردٍ

غلائل خدِّها صُبِغَت بوَردٍ

وقد جُعِل النهارُ لها طِرازا

وقد جُعِل النهارُ لها طِرازا

The gauzy robes of her cheek were dyed with roses,

Her cheeks were dyed as with a rose's hue,

And daylight was made her embroidered trim.

The light of day itself her ornament.
