بِعَيْنَيْكَ هَذِي الفَاتِراتِ الَّتي تَسْبِي

يَهُونُ عَليَّ اليَوْمَ قَتْلِيَ يا حُبِّي

With your eyes that are indifferent

My death seems easy today, O my love

إِذَا ما رَأَتْ عَيْنِي جَمالَكَ مُقْبِلاً

وَحَقِّكَ يا رُوحي سَكِرْتُ بِلاَ شُرْبِ

When my eyes see your beautiful face drawing near

By your right, O my soul, I got drunk without drinking

وَإِنْ هَزَّ عِطْفَيْكَ الصِّبَا مُتمايِلاً

أَضَاعَ الهَوى نُسْكِي وغُيِّبْتُ عَنْ لُبِّي

If the morning breeze shook your swaying sidelock

Passion confused my devotion and I was absent from my mind

فَدعْنِي وَهَذا الخَدَّ أَعْصِرُ في فَمِي

عَنَاقِيدَ صُدْغَيْهِ وَحَسْبِي بِهِ حَسْبِي

So let me and this cheek, I will squeeze

Bunches of his temple in my mouth, and that is enough for me

لَوَ أَنَّ تُجَارَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الرَّطْبِ شَاهَدُوا

ثَنايَاكَ ما عَنّوُا على اللُّؤْلُؤِ الرَّطْبِ

If the merchants of moist pearls saw

Your curves, they would not care about moist pearls

أَيَا سَاقِيَ الكَأْسِ الَّذي زَادَ خَدُّهُ

عَليهَا احْمِراراً عدِّ بالكَأْسِ عَنْ صَحْبِي

O cupbearer whose cheek exceeds

Its redness, stop giving company the cup

وَمَا ذَاكَ بُخْلاً بِالمُدامِ وَإِنَّما

إِذا لُحْتَ لم آمنْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّلْبِ

That's not stinginess with drinks but

When you smile, I cannot guarantee them from robbery

وَباللَّه قُلْ لِي أَيُّها الظبي كَيفَ قد

تَعَلّمت صيد الأُسْد في شَرَكِ الهُدْبِ

By Allah, tell me O gazelle how you

Learned to hunt lions in the traps of love

وماذا الَّذِي قَدْ بِعْتَ فاسْتَرهَنَت بِه

لَدَيْكَ الرُّبى رَهْناً كَثِيباً مِنَ الكُثبِ

What is that you sold and mortgaged with it

Necklaces as thick pledges

فَخُذْ قِصَّةَ الشَّكْوَى مِنَ الأَعْيُنِ الَّتي

نَفَيْتَ لَذِيذَ النَّوْمِ عَنْهَا بِلا ذنبِ

So take the story of complaint from the eyes

You denied the sweetness of sleep without guilt

وَلاَ تَعْتَبنْ صَبّاً تَهتَّكَ سِتْرُهُ

عَلَيْكَ فَهَتْكُ السّتْرِ أليق بالصبِّ

Do not blame morning radiance that unveiled you

Unveiling the veil is more fitting for the radiant morning
