أصبحتَ مأسوراً بغُنجِ لحاظِهِ

أصبحتَ مأسوراً بغُنجِ لحاظِهِ

ومقيَّداً مِن صدغِهِ بسلاسِلِ

ومقيَّداً مِن صدغِهِ بسلاسِلِ

You became captive to the coquetry of his glances,

and fettered with chains from his temple,

حتى بدا سيف العذار بخده

حتى بدا سيف العذار بخده

فخشيت منه وقلت هذا قاتلي

فخشيت منه وقلت هذا قاتلي

until the sword of cheek-down appeared upon his cheek;

so you feared him and said, "This is my slayer."
