لقد خضبت كفها أحمرا

لقد خضبت كفها أحمرا

وبعض محاسنها قد كفى

وبعض محاسنها قد كفى

She has indeed dyed her palm red,

Her hands are stained red,

And some of her charms were already enough.

And some of her beauty has vanished,

فماء الشباب بذا ما زوى

فماء الشباب بذا ما زوى

وجمر الخضاب بذا ما انطفى

وجمر الخضاب بذا ما انطفى

So the water of youth has not dried up from this,

The water of youth could not quench this,

Nor has the ember of the dye been quenched by this.

Nor the embers of henna extinguish.
