1. فَدَيتُكِ لو أَنَّهُم أنصفوا

    لردّوا النواظرَ عن ناظريكِ

    May I be your ransom! If they were fair,

    they would turn their eyes away from yours.

  2. تَرُدّينَ أعيننا عن سِواكِ

    وهل تنظرُ العينُ إلا إليكِ

    You turn our eyes away from anyone else—

    and does the eye look at anyone but you?

  3. ألم يقرأوا وَيحَهُم ما يرَو

    نَ مِن وَحي حُسنِكِ في وجنَتَيكِ

    Have they not read—woe to them—what they see

    of your beauty's revelation on your cheeks?

  4. وقد جعلوك رقيباً علينا

    فمن ذا يكون رقيباً عليك

    And they have made you a watcher over us—

    then who will be a watcher over you?
