عِندَ الخُدودِ دَمي فَهَلْ لي ثَائِرُ

عِندَ الخُدودِ دَمي فَهَلْ لي ثَائِرُ

يَالِلرِّجالِ وَحَيُّ لَيلَى عَامِرُ

يَالِلرِّجالِ وَحَيُّ لَيلَى عَامِرُ

My blood is on the cheeks—is there an avenger for me?

At the cheeks my blood, is there for me an avenger

O men, to my aid! Layla's encampment is inhabited.

O men, and Hayya Layla Aamir

وَبِأَرضِهِمْ سُمْرُ الرِّماحِ عَوَاطِفٌ

وَبِأَرضِهِمْ سُمْرُ الرِّماحِ عَوَاطِفٌ

مَسَّاسَةٌ وَظُبَا الصّفَاحِ بَوَاتِرُ

مَسَّاسَةٌ وَظُبَا الصّفَاحِ بَوَاتِرُ

And in their land the brown spears bend,

And in their land the lances' points are passions

Piercing keenly, and the edges of the broad swords sever.

Touching and the oryx of meadows limping

وَمَتى رَأَيْتَ هْناكَ ظَبياً راتِعاً

وَمَتى رَأَيْتَ هْناكَ ظَبياً راتِعاً

فََقَتِيلُهُ في الحُبِّ لَيْثٌ خَادِرُ

فََقَتِيلُهُ في الحُبِّ لَيْثٌ خَادِرُ

And whenever you see a gazelle grazing there,

And when you see there a resting oryx

Then its victim in love is a lion in his lair.

Its slain lover in love is a strong lion

وَوَراءَ دَمْعِي لِلدِّيَارِ دَمِي وَلا

وَوَراءَ دَمْعِي لِلدِّيَارِ دَمِي وَلا

حَذَرٌ ولِلأَطْلالِ مِنهِ ذَخَائِرُ

حَذَرٌ ولِلأَطْلالِ مِنهِ ذَخَائِرُ

And beyond my tears for the dwellings lies my blood, and I have no

And behind my tear for the dwellings my blood and no

Fear; the ruins have reserves of it.

Caution and for the ruins of it treasures
