Who will defend me against a nasal-voiced, elusive gazelle?
My excuse is a gazelle with wandering thoughts
He drove away my sleep as he prolonged my estrangement.
Who took flight in my dreams when waiting became long
حمىhe guarded خدهhis cheek عنيfrom me بصدغٍwith a temple-lock مزردchain-mail-like
حمى خده عني بصدغٍ مزرد
فواso, ah! طولlength شوقيmy yearning للحمىfor al-Hima (the protected grounds) وزرودand Zarud
فوا طول شوقي للحمى وزرود
He guarded his cheek from me with a temple-lock like chain mail.
The fever of his cheek protected me with an icy cheekbone
So, ah, how long my yearning for al-Hima and Zarud!
Oh, how great is my yearning for that fever and coquetry
