وَفي الجيرَةِ الغادِينَ مِن بَطنِ وَجرَةٍ

وَفي الجيرَةِ الغادِينَ مِن بَطنِ وَجرَةٍ

غَزالٌ أَحَمُّ المُقلَتَينِ رَبيبُ

غَزالٌ أَحَمُّ المُقلَتَينِ رَبيبُ

And among the neighbors setting out in the morning from the valley of Wajrah

In the neighborhood dwells a gazelle, tender of glance,

is a gazelle, dark-eyed and tenderly reared.

So think not the stranger who is far, estranged,

فَلا تَحسَبي أَنَّ الغَريبَ الَّذي نأَى

فَلا تَحسَبي أَنَّ الغَريبَ الَّذي نأَى

وَلَكِنَّ مَن تَنأَينَ عَنهُ غَريبُ

وَلَكِنَّ مَن تَنأَينَ عَنهُ غَريبُ

So do not think that the stranger is the one who has gone far away;

But rather the one from whom you are estranged, though near, a stranger.

but the one you draw away from is a stranger.
